My wife and I are so excited to share that a little one is on the way!

Sorry that we have been a little MIA and quiet here, there’s been a lot happening in our personal lives that we’re trying to manage.

As I run the business solo, and with a few unexpected pregnancy complications , I might be a little slower getting back to messages or posting your orders.

Thank you all so much for your understanding and continued support — it means the world. 💛

🚨 It’s here! KING OF DIRT by Holden Sheppard 🚨

From the bestselling author of Invisible Boys, this gritty, no-bullsh*t coming-of-age story follows Jack — a rough-edged, broken-hearted tradie navigating s*xuality, masculinity and messy family ties in regional WA.

🏡 Homecoming with baggage
👷 Q***r tradie vibes
📍 Regional WA realness
❤️‍🔥 Love, rage, and a second chance

This is q***r Aussie fiction with teeth — raw, heartfelt, and impossible to put down.

📦 Don’t wait — order your copy now and meet Jack, a character you’ll love, rage at, and never forget.

‘Dripping with s*x and sweat, and powered by a level of empathy that’s hard to find in literature these days, King of Dirt is Holden Sheppard at his rip-roaring best. It’s tough, it’s real, above all it’s heartbreaking. Strap yourself in for the ride – and the love story – of your life.’ – Nigel Featherstone, author of My Heart Is a Little Wild Thing
