Donaldson, Glen

Glen Donaldson reveres memorable lines from classic literature, such as “A cheese strand dangled from her mouth to the edge of her nipple and Robert longed to rappel it like a mozarella commando”. He lists his all-time favourite martial arts movie as the David Carradine-starring Circle of Iron (1978) and wonders why a group of squids isn’t called a squad.

Glen blogs at SCENIC WRITER’S SHACK whose motto is “I don’t read novels so I’m damn

sure I’m never gonna write one”.

PERSONS OF INTEREST
by Michael Joll

Constable B.H. Masters, recently of the London Metropolitan Police, joins the Colonial Police Force in 1924 and is posted to Malaya as Inspector. Over the course of eight mysteries, Masters encounters dead bodies, beautiful, and usually married women, (off limits owing to the morals clause in his service contract), and confronts racism, class distinction, and the old boy network. Snakes, tropical disease, monsoon rains, guns and villains conspire to thwart his attempts to solve crimes. Sometimes he succeeds, doing his best with few resources and little help.
