Television writer-producer and broadcaster Bob Phillips presents his latest novel The Taylors.
Ron and Bettina Taylor head an Australian family living on a small, idyllic seaside country property with five children.
The oldest child, Trish, blessed with movie star looks and destined for stardom, is guided by her mother to enter various amateur model quests to become Miss Australia, then an international supermodel on the world fashion stage.
Trish and the family take a rollercoaster ride of power, sex, deceit, love, and sex in a story that is said to be full of colour – and a few shades of grey.
Bob Phillips commenced his career in showbiz as a carnival hand, worked as a cinema projectionist, moved to television, and worked as a producer and executive producer for Australian TV icons such as Graham Kennedy, Bert Newton, Daryl Somers, Don Lane, Mike Walsh and Steve Vizard.
His first book was Like No Other Business, a light-hearted look at the first 50 years of Australian television. Bob’s late wife was actor and TV presenter, Judy Banks. Their only son, Andrew, is an established author with six published books.
In Bob’s words: “The author, veteran TV producer Bob Phillips, is a semi-recluse living on a small farm on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. He lives with two old horses – they don’t question him, and he doesn’t question them.”
The Taylors can be purchased online from Amazon.
