 Welcome to Batawood Books Minimize

Welcome to our new website. It has been sometime since I updated the site and I feel it is time to come clean on what I have been up to lately. After completing a commissioned work in May 2007 (Times of Change) I relocated to Jervis Bay in New South Wales in the middle of the year.  I am settling into this beautiful part of the world and attempting to re-establish myself with the South Coast Writers' Centre and several other literary groups, and at the same time work on several books with co-authors in Canberra and Victoria. I am  also writing a Viet Nam war era feature film script with well known television director Sean Meehan in Sydney. When not doing that I am busy doing manuscript appraisals, conducting seminars and workshops and hopefully selling books through this website.

My publishers Allen and Unwin have created an ebook of my latest book On Patrol with the SAS, for sale through the retail site www.Ebooks.com. The RRP for the ebook edition is US$20.95. There is now a dedicated page on the Ebooks.com website that has details of this and some of my other books in ebook format. The address is: www.ebooks.com/ebooks/book_display.asp?IID=305839

On 2 November my latest book Going Back was released. Details are in the section below and can also be viewed at:

www.allenandunwin.com/default.aspx?page=94&book=9781741146349

Going Back has been well received around the country and the demand has led the publishers to release this book as an ebook edition. Go to the website www.Ebooks.com and follow the prompts. The RRP for this book is US$ 17.45.

In June 2008 I will be hosting a 16-day trip to Viet Nam for veterans and their partners in conjunction with Battle Tours. More details from me on my email or go to the Battle Tours website. This will be an unforgettable experience for those who have yet to return.

 Ebooks are now becoming more popular and if you go to www.Ebooks.com  you will see that Allen & Unwin have created an ebook edition of JUNGLE TRACKS, for sale through the retail site. Simply type in Gary McKay in the search box under 'Author' and away we go. The RRP for the ebook edition is US$20.95.

It is nice to know that books that are no longer in print can still be accessed through this exciting new medium of literature.

  Going Back - Australian veterans return to Viet Nam

This book is designed for the Australian war veteran who is thinking of returning to Viet Nam. Based on the experiences from three tours with veterans and a case study from a recent tour, Gary has captured the emotions and experiences of fellow veterans as they return to Viet Nam, many for the first time since they were on the battlefield. It allows the veteran to make up his or her mind on what to do when returning to the former war zone.

  Times of Change – A history of Caloundra City

This large coffee table format book chronicles the history of white settlement in what was called Landsborough Shire and is now Caloundra City. Supported by over 200 historical images, many never seen in public before, this book describes the intrepid explorers and gutsy adventurers who settled in the region to first win precious timber for the settlement of Brisbane Town and then raise cattle, horses and crops for the region.
