My Newfie Bullet
Book One of the Newfie Bullet Trilogy
Author Quote:
I've been working on variations of this Trilogy for some time. But it wasn't until my mother, in Long-Term Care in St. John's, asked me to read to her, in-person, from my books, that they began to truly form and find their own tracks. I was led to my dream-train, the magical Newfie Bullet.
The more I write, the less division between my life and my writing. Still riding the same rails after so many years - only the stations are changing and the once necessary rails were sold by the rich to the rich.
What is so great about being a writer-creator, is that we've given new years to the same train.
The completed Trilogy now arrives in the station. And it starts with this volume.
I'm thankful that books arrive with such force that sleep vanishes. That's why I keep an ear to the tracks - it's so I may hear a distant train before its light is seen, before I’m crushed by the arrival of someone else’s dream.
Book One of our poem-movie screens aboard that vanished train that I rode again and again...until the tracks were ripped from the hearts of all Newfoundlanders.
I say screw the railway-destroying bureaucrats and CEOs.. it's real people who begin all Journeys aboard..."My Newfie Bullet"
Stay tune for our Audio-Movie"
This is Book Two of The Newfie Bullet Trilogy
William Gough works in many forms - he's a novelist, film writer, producer & director as well as being a poet.
In Poet In a Pontiac he creates a poem-movie - an inner film that unspools in the mind. And as it does, we meet the cast of characters; the Poet himself, assorted angels, and defective singers.
This funny and slip-sliding poem is a turn of the century gathering on the edge of a rocky island. On this sleet-sucking night of a cruel-wind-whistling High School reunion it's as unnerving for students as it is for teachers. Trapped between worlds - this turns into the kind of reunion we can't escape. The Newfie Bullet lets readers off for their ultimate High School reunion.
Another Poem-Movie. It emerges on the screen of your mind as Book Two of The Newfie-Bullet Trilogy.
The inter-linked Mind-Movie is hoping for a 2025-6 production.We'll be re-releasing our STAGE VERSION as well.
Dogs Of A Strange Town
Book Three of the Trilogy is... Fairy Tale, Fable, emerging Memoir & Poem-Movie about the adventures of a Gargoyle Poet who, frozen in the still time of stone, when he begins to stir - slowly - after centuries. He follows a thread of yarn - and it leads to Hollywood, Salt Spring Island, Newfoundland and Vancouver.
Gathered in an old house in Vancouver are his true friends who dream of Gargoyles, of a world filled with people made of stone. At the center of all this is Granny Knitwit, who spins natural yarns woven in Newfoundland & dyed with lichen from Labrador. She knits Gargoyles into human life, and adventures galore.
From a collapsing rooming house in Vancouver, she hears the sound of the Newfie Bullet heading in her direction.
All threads are gathered, all stone footsteps lead us to Hollywood...and you're invited along for the journey. Death turns out to be just another Station.
This is a Trilogy that links Newfoundland, Vancouver and Los Angeles in mysterious way. Think of it as a "'Floating Kitchen Party." anchored to "the Rock" of Terra Nova. The full-Trilogy is in the process of becoming a Pod-cast series. It's working title is "Off The Rails"
Gough's Writing
"The arrival of a new Bill Gough novel is like being told you're heading off on a wonderful surprise vacation: no idea where you're going, the only guarantee that you're going to regret when it's over….a true poet with a welcome sense of old-fashioned story-telling." Roy MacGregor
