Book Description

After moving from Memphis to Melbourne as a seven-year-old boy, Angus Flynn quickly got used to being invisible. Growing up, he kept to life out of the spotlight, working backstage for his father, the once mega successful country singer, Finn ‘Killer’ Flynn.

But when the stage-shy roadie learns his ageing dad is in debt to a gang of bikers, he reluctantly agrees to perform in a one-off tribute show as ‘Killer’ Junior, in order to save the family home. However, before he leaves for his Hollywood debut Angus’s world is turned upside down when an ailing Finn makes a confession that, although difficult to believe, rings strangely true: Elvis Presley was Angus’s real father.

Aided by an eclectic collection of old family friends, loyal companions and mysterious strangers, Angus hits the road to learn the truth. But unless he can find a way to forgive his mother, come to terms with his two fathers, and learn to love again, Angus seems destined to live under the shadow of three legends: the man he called his father, the man they called the King, and the woman Angus called Ma.

As he searches within for the courage to face his fear and finally sing his own song, one thing is certain though: Angus’s life will never be the same after what is undoubtedly THE road-trip of this roadie’s life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun read February 13, 2013

I enjoyed this story. I've never been a huge Elvis fan, but it was fun looking at the legend from a different perspective, and I learned some things I didn't know. The characters are engaging, and the writing professional. I would definitely recommend this book to friends looking for an entertaining read.

It's a good holiday book.

The story-line is enjoyable, but a little lacking at times. An easy, light hearted read.

More About the Author

Benjamin Grant Mitchell is "One of Australia's finest new writers." Jeff Jenkins, INPRESS (Dec 2012).

Mitchell's writing career began as a singer-songwriter. In 2006 he released his independently produced CD, 'The Stars Can See', featuring songs written and recorded in London where Mitchell lived for six years. The Stars Can See received radio play in Australia, England and Holland and garnered great reviews including getting 8/10 from AMERICANA UK: "His songwriting skills put him in a league above the litany of anonymous singer-songwriters."

Before turning to writing novels Mitchell had a successful career as an actor (with a lead role in Ozzie soap, Neighbours, guest starring on Blue Heelers, touring in fringe and mainstream theatre) and while working as an actor he also wrote, produced and starred in a couple of plays in his hometown of Melbourne.

His first novel, The Last Great Day (2011) was launched at Melbourne Writer's Festival and described as "A compelling tale of faith and family" (INPRESS) and "A fascinating story." (SUNRISE TV). On 16th August 2012 Mitchell published Zippin Pippin, his second novel, a comedy/romance inspired by his love of Elvis, roller-coasters and road-trips.

Mitchell's most recent book, The Little Booze Joke Book, is an ebook compilation of original (and/or improved!) bar and alcohol themed jokes, inspired by his highly successful year long blog project and 'social experiment', Year of Living Sober. The Little Booze Joke Book features over 100 of the best 'Little Booze Jokes' from over 140 blog posts.
