Boomtown


Lani Lynn Vale - 2013
    I never imagined I would meet a dark and dangerous man. That man took me on the wildest ride of my life. Literally and Figuratively. He quickly became my entire world.HimI didn't know I was looking for her. I saw her warming that bar stool and knew she would be mine. A man like me doesn't deserve the likes of her. But damned if I didn't take it.HerWhen we met for the first time we didn't know that we already had a connection. A cruel game was being played, and we didn't know the rules. Sam would save us, but at what cost? Sam was one of my main reasons for living. If he wasn't in this world anymore, would I still want to be a part of it?

Ferg's World


Fergus O'Connell - 2013
    These columns became one of the most popular items in the magazine and the page which was turned to first by many readers. In October 2012, Fergus' first book "Is That You Angus?", received much popular acclaim when published on Kindle, and readers were clamouring for the follow-up. Sadly, Fergus died in November before he could write any more. This book is a posthumous anthology of his Road columns, which ran from Issue 1 in November 2005 to Issue 44 in December 2012 (the Christmas Edition). So, Fergus left us with the Christmas message "I never realised just how dangerous Christmas could be"... Goodnight

The Legend That Is Mad Dog Jackson


Alec Sillifant - 2013
    Unlike my other works this title is not for children...or people that have no sense of humour...or people that faint at the odd naughty word.

Twisting Throttle New Zealand


Mike Hyde - 2013
    When you find yourself alone on the Molesworth, despite knowing that a 4WD or two will soon happen along, there is a strange sense of isolation and a dawning appreciation that if you suffer a puncture or a mechanical hiccup, then your name had better be MacGyver. Twisting Throttle is back. Exhausted from circumnavigations of Australia and America, Mike Hyde saddles up to explore his own back yard. And what a back yard! TWISTING THROTTLE NEW ZEALAND showcases Mike's top 50 motorcycle rides in the Land of the Long White Cloud from Ninety Mile Beach to the Catlins. Whether you're a Kiwi with a bike in the garage or an overseas visitor renting a motorcycle, this book will show you where the best biking roads are: road touring and adventure rides, North Island and South Island.

But ten years later, he's back, angry, accusing, and demanding his child. I'm married now, with a husband who loves me and my son knows nothing of Red. How do I handle Red's unbridled thirst for vengeance? How do I manage the beautiful memories that flood me every time I look at him, even though he wants to destroy me? How do I manage my longing for Red and stay faithful to my marriage, to my husband? Warning: contains sex scenes, violence, strong language, racial themes, sexual violence.

The India Ride: Two Brothers, Two Motorcycles, One Incredible Adventure


Ryan Pyle - 2013
    Of course, they were wrong. Back in the saddle again, Colin and Ryan have set out to tackle the diverse country of India, and they had no idea what to expect! Whether it was monsoon rains, crashes in Mumbai, the claustrophobic roads of Kerla, or even a brutal paragliding landing in Manali, nothing could stop these two adventurers as they triumphantly completed a 54-day, 14,000-kilometer motorcycle circumnavigation of India. In their book The India Ride, Colin and Ryan take us with them as they make their way through the remarkable and stunning landscapes of India. In the end, the brothers learned what it takes to succeed as a team as they circumnavigated a billion people, pushed themselves to new limits, and shared in an adventure of which most of us will only dream.
