From Montana award-winning author Jill Trevelyan comes the first biography of Peter McLeavey, the charismatic, pioneering art dealer who since the 1960s has shaped - even transformed - New Zealand art. McLeavey's personal story is remarkable, but his contemporaries will recognise common themes: the religious upbringing, the struggle to be bohemian in repressive mid-century small town New Zealand, the challenges of marriage and fatherhood, the dilemma of whether to stay or leave New Zealand, and the need to make a mark. Through exclusive access to McLeavey's extensive and hitherto untapped archive of letters, diaries, exhibition files and more, this book offers insights into the artists McLeavey has represented across half a century. Here, in their own words - lively, salty, and often heart-breaking - are Colin McCahon, Toss Woollaston, Len Lye, Milan Mrkusich, Bill Hammond, Gordon Walters, Michael Illingworth, Robin White, Richard Killeen, John Reynolds, Yvonne Todd and many more. Far more than a simple biography, this is the big story of contemporary New Zealand art itself, in a period of massive change and growth, and Trevelyan offers an utterly fresh and compelling historical account of the birth of the modern art market and the status of art today. A must-read for anyone interested in New Zealand's art, culture or recent history.

"... wit, charm, feeling, depth"-David Evanier, Author, The One-Star Jew and former fiction editor, The Paris Review. "These are stories Harold Ross would have chosen for the New Yorker because they are so intelligent and literate, but stories about an America he could have never envisioned. Dina Rabadi offers an honest voice about the country that evolved. They are haunting, lonely and so true."-- Vincent J. Schodolski, author and previous West Coast Bureau Chief, The Chicago Tribune Influenced by the Czech artist Mucha's series on women and seasons, the title story of Dina Rabadi's debut fiction collection follows an aging moonlight photographer's quest for success and his models' (all ordinary women) quest for a sense of beauty. Like the women in Mucha's series, each of the women represents a season-summer, fall, winter and spring and in representing seasons represents Everywoman. Other stories range in theme and setting from the questionable success of the building of the atomic bomb to a motherless Spanish boy who becomes a perfume maker in the south of France. Several of Rabadi's stories have been published in various periodicals including Fiction (2003 short story finalist.)

The #1 top-rated horror novelist on Amazon: Peter Meredith-The Apocalypse Crusade 2: Day two. Quite simply, what could go wrong did go wrong.Given the choice between assuming leadership of a situation that is pure chaos, where the National Guard is forced into a position of going to war against a trapped and possibly infected citizenry, the President chooses to punt. He knows what enforcing a quarantined zone will require: the massacre of tens of thousands of terrified people demanding to get out, and there is no way he's going to have his name and legacy sullied.Suddenly a "States Rights" champion, he leaves the situation under the control of the Governor of New York, but not before hampering the men on the lines with Rules of Engagement that are meant to sooth journalists instead of creating a possibility of victory.Tasked with the impossible, General Collins, commander of the 42nd Infantry Division is in a meeting with the Governor when the perimeter of the quarantine zone is ruptured. When his command post is overrun he's grinding his teeth, sitting in front of the President as he smiles for the cameras, makes jokes and demands answers. And in the dead of night when a hundred thousand Infected Persons slug it out toe-to-toe with the fractured remains of his division, he is the only reinforcement available to shoulder a rifle.Inside the Zone, the survivors of Day 1 are dying by the score as Dr. Lee and her friends, hopelessly fight their way from one end of the Zone to the other, desperate to escape. But there is no way out except through death at the ripping teeth of the undead. Striving to put that horrible moment off for as long as possible, she finds herself trapped alongside Anna Holloway and Lieutenant Eng-they are three scorpions in a bottle...a bottle surrounded by countless undead.

PETER COLLINS: MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY
FOOTBALL WORLD
2022

From Belle Vue to Brisbane, Crewe to California, in a glittering 18-year career he captivated crowds wherever he rode with his spectacular dashes from the back that set hearts and pulses racing and won him every honour the oval shale sport has to offer. His 10 FIM gold medals include five World Team Cup and four World Pairs victories – more than any other English rider has ever achieved. A record 154 international England or Great Britain caps will almost certainly never be emulated. Much revered PC’s greatest individual triumph came in Slaski Stadium, Katowice, Poland on September 5, 1976. Aged 22, the former farmer’s boy from the Manchester suburb of Partington in Cheshire, swept to World Championship glory in typical all-action style that thrilled the 120,000-plus crowd and millions more watching on TV. It was the culmination of a dream inspired by his boyhood hero Peter Craven. During the 1970s and early 80s, Peter became a national hero who adorned the back pages of the UK tabloids, a true sporting superstar whose track exploits and hectic globetrotting lifestyle earned him bigger pay days than those of contemporary international footballers. In his long-awaited autobiography, Collins – the head of speedway’s most famous racing dynasty – shines a very insightful light on a magical period when his daring deeds were the embodiment of his sport’s last golden age. As well as taking readers on a long and eventful journey through his illustrious grasstrack, speedway and longtrack racing career spanning from 1970 until 1987, Peter also reveals the inside stories on major controversies – the ‘disgraceful’ tracks and freak injuries that probably cost him more major titles, possible bike sabotage, a heated row with an England team-mate, fun and fisticuffs on Down Under tours with the British Lions, rejecting a tempting offer to leave his beloved Belle Vue, and how his brief stint as the Aces’ promoter ended acrimoniously after he’d led the fight to save the world famous Manchester club from possible extinction.
