Unable to convince almost anyone that he’s now really a wizard, John B.’s life takes a further turn out of control when he stumbles onto a sinister plot.
A mad sorceress is using the equipment at a secret military base to summon forth an ancient evil power.
John B. must overcome a hitman, difficult policemen, angry soldiers, a sadistic Colonel, the insane sorceress and a horde of demons.
He’s stuck out in the South Australian desert with three oddly matched friends and a big white Persian cat.
They’re armed with only their courage, wits, determination, a few antique weapons, and John B.’s own questionable magic powers. No wonder he needs a drink.

After surviving the perils of their first adventure, John B. and his mates want nothing more than a relaxing holiday in Central Australia.

Then there’s the two homicidal archaeologists.
One of them has a plan to use human sacrifice to reanimate an ancient god.
Only John B.’s unorthodox magic can stop him. Or can it?

Trapped on a tiny island, it will take all John B.’s wits and magic to keep his sanity, and his life. Even if his friends can find him they’ll have to overcome ruthless enemies and the dangers of Bass Strait. It’s anything but smooth sailing.
- The Warriors of Wiwo’ole

A golfing holiday in Hawaii for John B. and Wilko – what could go wrong with that? Plenty, when a homicidal maniac plans to blow up the Big Island. Mystery, murder, fast cars, ghosts and maybe a god or two.
Is the unpredictable magic of the unlikely wizard enough to stop a volcano? Failure this time could have earth-shattering consequences.

The Quiet Word series of men’s health books
– because some blokes don’t like to talk out loud about certain subjects, these will be a Quiet Word between blokes.
- Mid-life Crisis MANagement – A Bloke’s Guide to Surviving Middle Age and Male Menopause
Why do some men struggle with life when they hit their 40’s? Depression. Stress. Poor decisions. Suicide. Menopause in men IS real, and not the same as women get. This book explores what it is, what other factors affect men as they age, and a range of treatment and prevention options both ‘conventional’ and ‘alternative’. And it does so in simple terms, demystifying some of the confusing or intimidating jargon some health practitioners use.
