Father’s Day interview: Brisbane Dad pens dream novel in honour of his late mum & donations to Breast Cancer Network
Announcement posted by All About PR 25 Aug 2020
Just the gift for Dad to combat the stressful year so far - reviews heralding Terry Flynn as the new Les Norton!
Brisbane Dad Matt Judd had a dream for twenty years to pen his first novel which is now receiving rave reviews by fans. While his Mum was dying of Breast Cancer, she motivated her son not to have any regrets and to complete she book she new he so desperately wanted to write. He powered on and now, Terry Flynn: I Owe you One is recieving rave reviews and Matt is already writing the second instalment! And, in honour of his Mum, Matt has pledged a part of the profits to The Breast Cancer Network Australia.
Terry Flynn: I Owe You One is the perfect laugh-a-minute read to help Dad combat the already stressful year and celebrate Father's Day this September 6.
Author Matt Judd has people all over Australia laughing at Terry Flynn and all the trouble he gets into. As Marto from Triple M in Brisbane says, “This book is the best book I've read this year by a local author. Terry is the loser version of Les Norton”… but don’t be fooled guys and gals, Terry might get himself into trouble but he has a heart of gold and loves his Mum!
After observing a bloke at his favourite local pub acting strangely several times, Matt – who had wanted to write a book for over twenty years – decided that this was the guy to base his main character on. Thus, the character of Terry Flynn was born.
Calm, mature, forgiving, honest, stylish, and sober, Terry Flynn possesses none of these qualities. Bumbling his way through life without any real direction, knockabout Terry is the first to admit he has never achieved anything of great significance in his 44 years.
Seeking retribution from anyone he believes has wronged him is common practice, but when a degenerate gambler looks set to turn his world upside down, Terry is prompted to produce his greatest square up to date.
With an extremely short fuse and an inability to conform with modern society, it’s not going to be a walk in the park though. In fact, his best mate reckons it’s the most ludicrous scheme Terry has ever devised and only gives him a 50 to 1 chance of pulling it off!
Terry’s not concerned in the slightest, he’s just got a cranky builder, a dangerous driver, English cricket fans and an 80s television star amongst others to deal with first.
It’s going to be a few busy weeks in December, but with the help of a few friends, Terry’s going to give it a crack or go down swinging!
Judd kicked off writing Terry Flynn with little idea how to fill the middle. Says Judd, “My Mum had been going through breast cancer and sadly passed away in January of 2014 at the age of 62. Like most Mums, she was just a great lady with a terrific sense of humour, and I didn’t deal with it very well. Months passed and after feeling sorry for myself and having the odd beer or ten, I realised that if I am dealing with my grief like this, how would Terry deal with it? That’s when the character of Sarah came in and the first book just grew from there”.
"And, in dedication to Mum, a percentage of any profit made is being donated to Breast Cancer Network Australia."
Continues Judd, “I had a whole lot of fun writing this book – as hard as it was in some parts – but I hope readers get plenty of enjoyment out of this book”.
Reviews!
“For an Aussie bloke who doesn’t read a lot, I couldn’t put Terry Flynn down! Ripper of a story that had me crying from laughter! Please send Terry down south for the sequel!”
Simon H. Tamworth, NSW
“Great story about the Aussie larrikin and battler. Plenty of good laughs and emotion that will have you entertained from start to finish. Hope to read more adventures about Terry.”
Mick T. Brisbane
“I wasn't sure what I thought of Terry at first, but the cheeky bugger won me over! Absolutely loved it! Classic!” Kristy O. Brisbane
