He wants sex. She wants to drive his car…
At a Chinese restaurant in the eastern suburbs of Brisbane, Nina’s on her third date with Jamie and she’s having second thoughts. He’s an insufferable jerk who only wants to talk about himself, and if it weren’t for his European sports car she would never have gone out with him in the first place. Discouraged by both Jamie’s choice of dining establishment and his attempts at conversation, her evening is looking grim. If only she had a knight in shining armour to come to her rescue...
A vivid tale of determination, desire, and dating, The Golden Cockroach is the first instalment in a series of surprising and darkly humorous short stories. While loosely connected, each story in the saga stands alone and they can be read in any order. If you like relatable characters, amusing dialogue, and action spiced with both comedy and drama, then you’ll love J.B. Reynolds’s Crossing the Divide short story series.

"It's a mark of talent to be able to write a story about two unlikeable characters and still make it enjoyable. It certainly helps when one of the characters gets a fitting and gross comeuppance. A well-written and amusing tale!"
"Totally relatable characters, just the right amount of intrigue and a nice dash of dark humour."
"Ewwwww... eww... GROSS! Still, when the penultimate time came I couldn't help giggling my butt off. 😂"
