Boone Shepard
My name is Boone Shepard. I’m here to set the record straight.
Boone is taking a break from writing for The Chronicle newspaper to hunt down and destroy every last copy of a very rare, very dangerous book. But when his editor calls to demand he investigate a missing persons case deep in the Scottish Highlands he is forced to abandon his personal goals and get back to work. Restless and begrudging, Boone is unprepared when this hunt leads him back to the one story that won’t stop chasing him — his own.
Boone Shepard is the first in a series of four young adult novels following the adventures of an Australian expat, errant journalist and accidental hero. It was shortlisted for the 2017 Readings Young Adult Prize.
"Australia may have just found its new adventurer and his name is Boone Shepard" – Arts Review

"Perfect for fans of Indiana Jones and Tintin" – Readings
"This is a story to revel in" – Jennie Bales
Boone Shepard's American Adventure
This is a true story of bravery and villainy in the old west. You might have heard the tale, full of pursuits, conspiracies, gunslingers and duels. You might have heard of the secret gold mines, the mind control, the flying saucers and the rock stars. And maybe you heard about the people mixed up in all this, innocents turned heroes, doing their best to save the world. It wasn't quite that simple.
My name is Boone Shepard. This is what really happened.

When a teenage girl turns up on their doorstep desperate for help, the strange trio are led on a wild journey across the old west, a journey that may just take them home – provided they survive.
