Inspired by a bus journey vision, Lizzie Flight hit on the idea of a series of pseudo-books: the Barry Nutter series. Styling herself 'E. C. Flight', she quickly penned a number of 'novels' about a teenage boy who heroically headbutted villains into submission.
These 'novels' were actually very short stories – 100 words or fewer – aimed at relucant readers, particularly teenage boys. Early titles, including "Barry Nutter And The Corrupt Bank-Manager" and "Barry Nutter And The Mad Shipyard-Arsonist", were instant successes and spawned a series of movies.
Today, a super-wealthy "E. C." lives in a gated community in an Australian city.
