AUTHOR'S WARNING. Please note, as previously mentioned this is a true story. It reflects bad people doing bad things and features a high degree of profanity and some scenes that are violent or sexual in nature. I make no apologies for that; 'the truth is rarely plain and never simple' - and usually ugly.
Celebrities have secrets. Meet the man who knows them all and will do anything to keep them quiet. Even murder.
Andrew Manning has spent 20 years masterfully reviving celebrity careers that have been rocked by scandal, but now some particularly difficult and demanding characters are about strain even his abilities to the limit:
Shelley. Model and fashion icon, she's determined to blackmail her closeted, gay footballer husband into a lucrative divorce settlement…but Shelley has her own dark secret.
Joey. Handsome, young reality TV star and sex symbol. His career is in tatters after launching an expletive-laden attack against the Queen of England, but he's determined to hang on to his celebrity even if it means slowly poisoning himself to death.
The Producer, a king in the world of entertainment - rich, powerful, sexually deviant and a serial abuser of hopeful young wannabes.
Charlie. Morbidly obese, murderous Mafiosi adviser (and creature) to...
Janey. Musical superstar, mad, bad and dangerous to know. Janey consumes liquidized human fetuses to preserve her youthful (or should that be vampiric?) good looks.
Johnny. Andrew's partner, a psychopath with a heart of gold and voices in his head. He's on a mission to murder as many celebrities as possible.
And when an ambitious young photographer snaps Janey in the middle of one of her disgusting meals, things begin to spin rapidly out of control for Andrew.
How will Andrew reconcile the demands of such disparate and desperate characters. And who's going to end up dead?
I Really, Really Want It also features shocking cameo performances from a glittering list of famous, household names. Is your favorite celebrity in the book?

The Curious Little Book of Extraordinary Big Tales
"Brilliant comic technique, and a glorious sense of moral outrage at the current mess in which our country seems mired, combine here to make a unique reading experience. Often laugh-out-loud funny, the real-life characters behind these innocuous fairy tales and fables hit you by surprise, a series of sharp rocks hidden in those snowballs. Amazingly, with all the faux-naievete and children's book elements gleefully displayed here, the writing never becomes twee or condescending. I don't know where this writer's been all his life, but I intend to catch up with him, and keep an eye on where he's headed next!...Bravo, Mr. Hennerly! Stay angry, and keep your books coming!"
