A witty and deeply moving novel – a celebration of love, family and that place we call home - this unforgettable story will surprise and delight the reader until the very last page. The Household Guide to Dying is one of the 50 titles selected by Books Alive to feature in the 50 Books You Can’t Put Down guide, which will be available in bookstores from Sunday 27 July 2009. The 50 Books You Can’t Put Down guide is the very best of contemporary reading, hand-picked by book-lovers – a guide you won’t want to miss.

His latest adult action thriller, Bombproof, will be available exclusively for free with any book purchased from the Books Alive 50 Books you Can’t Put Down guide only between 27 July and 31 August 2008. Commissioned by the Australian Government’s Books Alive campaign, the book is a hook to motivate lapsed and infrequent readers back into the habit of reading. ‘Our aim is simple – to encourage all Australians to read more books,’ said Sandra Yates, chair of Books Alive. ‘50 Books You Can’t Put Down makes choosing a great book easy.
