Tony McFadden


Biography

Born in Canada, but thoroughly sick of snow, I live, with my wife and two kids, in coastal Australia. Half a kilometre from the beach beats snow any day of the week.

I write thrillers and mysteries and mystery thrillers. If you're a fan of Romances, Chick-Lit or anything without mysteries or thrills, you've come to the wrong place.

    • Sudden Death (endorsed by James Patterson & Clive Cussler) on March 12, 2011
      star star star star
      They say 'write what you know' and Balkind certainly knows golf. This story draws you into the competition and the pressures on and off the course as his protagonist, Reid Clark reaches the top of his game, where 'sudden death' is a bit more than just a sports metaphor. An enjoyable read. Looking forward to more from the author

      Well, Tony has served up a meal of little bits of excellence. I loved reading the short, short shorts, but was (very) frequently frustrated that it was over too quickly. Paranormal, horror, fantasy, and a melding of all three genres should keep you awake at night. Maybe because you can't stop reading. But maybe because you can't get the image of "[f]rom behind the head of it, two long yellow fangs flashed out, then arced forward convulsively to bury themselves in her wrist" out of your head A novel from Tony is needed, with bigger bites and more of the above. Heartily recommended.

      A great start. I know, it's a short story. And as a short story I liked it. A bit too front heavy, but I liked the concept and the humor. I look forward to more from this author.
    • Loop Vacation on Feb. 29, 2012
      star star star star
      It’s not that far in the future and time travel is a commercial enterprise. Marine Major Mark Multon and his wife, Beth, decide to exploit this new capability and double up on his six-week furlough. Just before it’s time to re-deploy they head back six weeks, meet themselves for dinner and drinks, then start a vacation covering half the continents of the globe on ‘borrowed’ time. But the un-time travelled version of Mark and Beth discover something about their future trip. Or think they do. Or maybe they don’t. The reality of what you think you know and how it can impact what you are have already done six weeks hence is laid out is a twisted tale that never lets up. It is, quite simply, one of the best examples of ‘what if’ I’ve ever run across. His description of the science of time travel is believable, and actually pretty easy to understand. And his “Truths of Time Travel” rival Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics.
