The initial concept of Billy the Red Bread Truck originated in 1980 when the author began driving bread trucks for a major Australian bakery. Along with his lifelong passion of writing and performing music since the age of eight years, the journey began. The storyline is based on true characters and situations portrayed in an imaginative format by Dean Bird. The story begins: Billy is the name of the main character in the village of Happyville where there is no such thing as unhappiness. Whilst there are daily challenges, the village population, the employees and bread trucks are always at the ready to solve any challenge that may come their way. Along with his partner and driver Happy Harry, the pair go about their daily activities with the attitude of kindness, happiness, understanding and full support no matter the odds. Whether it be a fellow employee of the Happyville Bakery, the community of the village, or one of the trucks, Billy is seen as a leader and philosopher. It is envisaged that Billys’ initial book will be seen as an educational tool thus leading onto a series of adventures and stories to enlighten the following: Loving, living, being in the present and the now, problem solving, empathy, support, understanding, peace, life fulfilment and happiness.

England, 1944: Recovering from physical and psychological wounds sustained in the liberation of Paris, US Army detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz are sent to a convalescent hospital in the English countryside—only to discover that St. Albans may have its own war secrets, including a killer. "As historical detective series go, this one is extremely well tended by an author who clearly dotes on his hero. As do we."—The New York Times Just days after the Liberation of Paris, US Army Detective Billy Boyle and Lieutenant Kazimierz are brought to Saint Albans Convalescent Hospital in the English countryside. Kaz has been diagnosed with a heart condition, and Billy is dealing with emotional exhaustion and his recent methamphetamine abuse. Meanwhile, Billy’s love, Diana Seaton, has been taken to Ravensbrück, the Nazi concentration camp for women, and Kaz’s sister, Angelika, who he recently learned was alive and working with the Polish Underground, has also been captured and transported to the same camp. This news is brought by British Major Cosgrove, who asks Billy for help, unofficially, in solving what he thinks was the murder of a British agent recuperating at Saint Albans. The convalescent hospital is really a secret installation for those in the world of clandestine warfare to recover from wounds, physical and emotional. Some are allowed to leave; others are deemed security risks and are detained there. When a second body is found, it is evident that a killer is at work in this high-security enclave. Now Billy must carry out his covert investigation while maintaining his tenuous recovery, shielding his actions from suspicious hospital authorities, and dodging the unknown murderer.

A glorious novel from the award-winning author of Mister Pip, now available as a trade paperback original from Vintage Canada. The Book of Fame is a lyrical semi-fictional account of the 1905 All Black rugby tour of Europe - a tour that shaped New Zealand's identity, from which the players returned to find themselves accorded almost god-like status. This remarkable, award-winning novel is both a tribute to some of the world's first sporting celebrities and an investigation into the curious workings of fame. Not just a book for lovers of sport, The Book of Fame is essentially a story about friendship and loyalty, and about a group of astonishing young men at the peak of their abilities.
