Among those who read a preview copy of this new book...some felt offended...some felt provoked...some felt challenged...but most had a damn good laugh! The provocative and rollicking story is based on two competing radio stations in an idyllic beachside resort town. One has a format like no other and the other is a network station playing “The Music of Your Life”. The story also involves... A housing development with a dark secret. An accident prone broadcasting executive and his illicit affair leading to serious, and sometimes hilarious, drug situations. A local eccentric who claims he astral travels. The establishment of a new church set-up as a tax-exempt business. An opportunist televangelist. A romance frustrated by politics and religion. Witchcraft. The young “feral” with the voice of an angel. Some “comedy” terrorists with serious intent. The devil himself coming to town. The Wilton Bay Chronicles is about religion, hypocrisy, spirituality, sex, drugs, comedy, drama and the end of the world. ABOUT THE AUTHOR IAN MACRAE has worked in radio for close on 50 years. Starting as office boy at a radio station in Melbourne, Australia he gained on-air experience in country radio then worked for two years on the off-shore "pirate" radio stations in the U.K. Returning to Australia he worked in Perth then Sydney where he presented a top rating breakfast show for 13 years. He has written two non-fiction books, one a printed hard copy book (The Beginners Guide To Becoming a Radio Star) and the other digital (The Discovery Files). This is his first work of fiction.

It was offered to me due to my appreciation of Hell's Super by Mark Cain By Adam Oster Let's get the disclaimer out of the way first: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I honestly had no idea what to expect going into the reading The Wilton Bay Chronicles by Ian MacRae. It was offered to me due to my appreciation of Hell's Super by Mark Cain, so I went in expecting something a bit more overtly comedic. This wasn't the case.Not to say that this book isn't humorous, it's just not entirely upfront about it.This book takes a sideways glance at religion in the world today. It's mostly honest, mostly fair, but ultimately shows how absolutely ridiculous the world surrounding our spiritual health really can be. And MacRae seems to leave no stone unturned in his novel about the town of Wilton Bay. We get Catholics, Wiccans, Muslims, and even a brief glimpse at some Hare Krishnas. Okay, well, obviously not everyone gets in there. There aren't any Baha'is or Hindus or really much of real Eastern religious groups shown (although Doc Rock encapsulates a few of these ideas). But that's probably the point.You see, MacRae gets right down to the nitty gritty of what's wrong with western religion of today, in that it's a competition. Revolving the story around two competing radio stations, we get a good idea of how religion has become big business and that they operate very similar to any corporation that needs to please its stockholders.Yet, with all this commentary, at its heart, The Wilton Bay Chronicles is more of a coming of age story for an entire town. Sure, by the end things aren't really all that much better, but you get the idea that at least a few people learned something.I wouldn't say that this is a fast read. Like talk radio itself, this book seems to spend most of its time simmering, causing the reader to wonder what the point is, although the read itself may be enjoyable. And outside of the commentary, I'm not sure there is much of a point. It seems to be a funny slice of life piece, showcasing what the world of religion can really be like when it truly collides.And that's what's really great about it. That simmering quality means that you can keep coming back to it, no matter how slowly you read, and still immediately get back into the right mindset of the folks of Wilton Bay, almost like the ongoing tales of Lake Woebegon.If you're looking for a light easy read that will make you think, this is definitely a worthwhile one for you.

Meyer The author asked me to review his novel and give an honest review. He explained he had seen a previous review I had made on a novel having almost the same genre and thought I might be interested in reading his. I agreed.I am always apprehensive when doing a requested review, but soon after starting this novel I realized this book that might interest everyone. What a novel! But wait, was it a novel? If I wanted to write a book about the various people I have met in my life…I would write a book like this and exaggerate my impression of them and call it a novel. In this bio…err, I mean novel, you will find characters that represent the worse, the best, the dumbest, the smartest, the weirdest, the religious, the non-religious and the most normal. But wait! I don’t think there are any normal people in this book. Ok, maybe three; the Constable and the Cabot’s. One warning, this book is not politically correct. If it were politically correct, no one would read it unless they were very dull readers. And I don’t think there is such a person as a dull reader. Just be prepared to enjoy some good humor, some of which may be very subtle. You may also want to Google some of the “facts” Lola brings up concerning the bible. If you do, this will guarantee you spending an extra day or so to complete the novel. I did this and it took almost two days.The author accomplishes all this while interweaving a dozen or so stories that fully develop his characters. But don’t worry, the stories all come together and there are no cliff hangers. This book is worth five stars!

By CleverPetals One of the most humorous books I've read this year so far.As I was reading through the pages I got a sense this would make a really good cult TV show, there were so many crazy characters. Based on a small seaside tourist town named 'Wilton Bay' the story is based around a failing local radio station run by a new age hippie and a spiritual guard. It's failing so badly, Roman (the son of the radio station chain CRAZE) is sent in to get the ratings up. After his arrival in town, crazy things start to happen to Roman including a night of drug fuelled passion and then the burning of the radio station.After the fire, Lola (who used to run the failing radio station) decides to set up her own radio station Seventh Wave becoming direct competition to Craze radio run by Roman. As both radio stations fight it out, crazy goings on and bad luck continues to happen in town mostly involving Roman. Talks of strange goings on, ghost and ghouls haunting a new property development. A witch. An opportunist televangelist partnering with Roman to build a church with spiritual healing. A sex video accidently played during a church service. The religious nut who runs the local hotel. The street kids with 'voices like angles' forming the church choir, with the leader of the pack coincidently named Hades. The list of craziness continues. The most weirdest and funniest book you will ever read!**I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review**
