Songs of Bliss
by Clive Gilson
Description
Songs of Bliss is a Dancing Pig Original publication - showcasing work by author Clive Gilson. Songs was Clive's first published novel. Just how far will a father go to protect his daughter, especially when his 'protection' is so fundamentally flawed?
Billy Whitlow, one time "Don of Doo Wop", has survived his days of drink, drugs and groupies, settling now into a more peaceful life centred on his blossoming seventeen year old daughter Bex. Revising for her 'A' Levels, Bex visits Billy one Easter but the longed-for simplicity of father-daughter happiness is shattered one night in a local club.
Billy's world becomes one of questions; Why is his daughter in a drug induced coma? Who put her in that state? How in the name of Hell is he going to make them pay?

Reviews
Songs of Bliss is a real page turner, a real thriller. Here are some of the comments made be early readers: Well, I’ve finished the book and very much enjoyed it. I think you have written a really good first novel – you have a great turn of phrase: “The jogging-bottom girls are done up to the nines” - which often made me smile and occasionally, laugh out loud. Always a good sign. Lorna Howarth, Editor of Resurgence & founder of The Write Stuff I like stories where the hero is flawed and Billy certainly fills that bill. His flaws are what make him human and sympathetic, though, so it works well here. Love the dialogue. Makes this a good read. Burgio, commenting on Authonomy Great opening paragraph is followed by some wonderful touching prose. This is a fantastic piece of work and I would happily buy a copy of this. Carl Ashmore, commenting on Authonomy Absorbed in this from the first lines. Intelligent writing and thoughtful attention to the characters and plot make this a highly recommended read Margaret Antony, commenting on Authonomy This has a very professional touch. I think your characters and the humour they bring to this are phenomenal. This is very cleverly and intelligently structured and layered, the succession of acts is so good. I – REALLY – LIKE – THIS – BOOK. Famlavan, commenting on Authonomy Songs of Bliss gripped me from the start - I had to read right to the end. Loved the humour. Impressed by the surprising empathy that I felt for rather - on the face of it - unlikeable characters. Look forward to seeing it in print. Maighdean-Mhara, commenting on Authonomy This is the whole package.....I love the cover and was intrigued by the title. Fantastic work. Email me when you're published so I know when I can buy a copy. Tim Hawken, commenting on Authonomy
