Set on the bent and brutal streets of Newcastle in the 1990s, Teeth Kicker tells the story of 22-year-old Vincent Silk, who is forced to pay his way out of crippling debt by becoming a reluctant enforcer for an unhinged loan shark.
Walk these streets.
'Take Animal Kingdom and Mr InBetween and smash it into Gabriel Bergmoser’s The Hunted and you might get close – it’s so dark and edgy and thrilling, and packed with characters that will stay with you forever, all told with a voice that’s so electrifying that I stayed up and finished the manuscript in a night. I was totally on edge but also moved to tears and everything in between.’
-HarperCollins
HarperCollins plans to release Teeth Kicker in September 2026.
'This moving and utterly gripping true story is a testament to the bravery and guts that human beings can display when truly pushed to the brink.'
- Herald Sun
One twilight, Glenn Orgias was surfing at Bondi Beach when the worst happened: he was attacked by a shark, a 'man in a grey suit', as surfers call them; 80 meters from shore with a severed arm, losing blood fast, and the great white was somewhere below. All he could think about was his wife, Lisa, who was four months pregnant.
Man In A Grey Suit is a memoir of personal restoration, of rehabilitation, of overcoming anger and anxiety. It's the story of how surfing, the sport that almost killed him, helped Glenn tuRn his life around.
'It is while coming to terms with phantom pain after the loss of a limb that Orgias arrives at deep psychological insights...The methods he discovers to ease his untouchable pain are astonishing.'
