Jack Holland was a highly respected author and journalist known particularly for his commentary about Northern Irish politics. He grew up in Belfast (where he was taught by Seamus Heaney), and worked with Jeremy Paxman and other outstanding journalists at BBC Belfast, during a period of seminal current affairs programming. Jack published four novels and seven works of non-fiction, most of the latter relating to politics and terrorism in Northern Ireland, including the bestselling Phoenix: Policing the Shadows.
Sadly, Jack died of cancer in 2004, just after finishing the manuscript of Misogyny. On his death, his family received letters of respect from statesmen including Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, who had come to rely on his balanced analysis of Irish politics.
The Dry Hole Pump Company is drilling for oil in the middle of the Rio Grande River without any permits as Prunel Duboise slams back one more Dr. Jim and dreams about an island somewhere out in the Pacific where a band of surfing Aborigines awaits his arrival. But that dream will have to wait as a lifetime of adventure is about to be hatched down on the border at Rosita's Half Moon Tequila House. The Truth About Chupacabras is a satirical tale of border folly that explores the under belly of Laredo, Texas and takes the reader back to the wild days when South Texas chupacabras roamed in packs in downtown Laredo, chupacabra hunters became legendary, wife swapping was rampant, tequila flowed like wine, money flowed like oil, and gold plated belt buckles were sold in six-packs. Not recommended for teetotalers, Arkansas Democrats, or those prone to being easily offended by general debauchery and historical recollection.
