If you love the TV shows Dallas and now Yellowstone then you will love the Contention book series.
Untouchable is the fourth book in the Contention book series. The "Sports of Kings" is a lure too great for many. The battlers work hard, desperately trying to get their shot. The rich simply buy their way in. Then there's Ricoo Diangelo, who, out of nowhere, mysteriously arrives on the horse racing scene, creating a stir. 'Seems like a likeable fellow', say many, 'he's a good guy, funny, smart and warm.' But some describe and entirely different side of Ricco. 'Watch him - remember that if you lie with dogs you will get fleas'. It seems like Ricco will spread his fleas into the racing community and many will not notice they have been bitten until it is too late.
Ricco is workng with bloodstock agent Piper Worthington-Jones to build up his stable of horses - but is she hiding something?
Meanwhile the Champion of Champions race series continues to dominate the horse industry. Angela Masters has now taken hold of the reins, replacing her husband, Angus Masters in the reality show produced by billionare Howard Irwin. Angela's training against her ex-husband, Logan Weston, a deliberate move by Howard to inject even more drama into the hugely successful reality series bringing the past champions back through cloning.
Will Tom Baker, Logan's protégé, be the first to fall into Ricco's trap? Drugs, hookers, race fixing and extortion. Is it too late for Tom, or will he recognize the truth for what it is?
In the race to become the Champion of Champions, will the corrupt prove themselves untouchable?
My passion was preparing yearlings for sale and I was very fortunate to sell many champions and million dollar plus yearlings over my time and also run my very own successful farm as well.
I never realized until about ten years ago I had an artistic flair and could also write. My Artist side is making metal sculptures and I have been fortunate enough to win a few significant awards. The front cover of my very first book Contention is actually a sculpture I made called "Taking the Plunge" that is now in the Sculpture Garden in the town of Mudgee NSW. (That is also me in the circle posing ).
My whole career in the racing game has provided me with a memory bank of so many characters for my books. All the highs and lows in life, the victory moments and also the heart breaking times in the racing and breeding game enable me to draw on my memory bank and bring to life my fiction story's.
Its sad in ways that I can say I've rub shoulders at the horse sales with a quite a few underworld figures while not knowing the real truth behind their wealth. Most of them always get caught and it shocks the hell out of us all with their underworld lifestyle we never actually knew about. I'm very fortunate to say that 99% of the people I have met in the horse industry are simply decent horse loving people. The fact is everyone loves a villain in a story and my books always have a touch of a underworld/gangster side to spice things up. Enjoy the read and please feel free to send me reviews and emails about what you thought about the book.
