'It's What Eddie Did' is my latest novel which is available from my website and from Amazon and Kindle. 

The international rise and fall of an Auckland ad man

From an Auckland slum to the heights of a New York boardroom and, eventually, an obscure and unhappy old age, It’s What Eddie Did records the rise and fall of Eddie Purvis, a rich and successful New Zealand advertising man, and his relationship with one of the world’s great international airlines and its New York advertising agency. However, obsessed with his own mid-life success, Eddie later discovers the importance of family, and that wealth can’t protect him and them from life’s troubles and disappointments.
