Billy Gumboots thought he’d left Windy Mountain behind. But the town doesn’t forget that easily.

Full of sharp wit, unexpected moments, and the kind of humour that makes you cringe and laugh at the same time, The Life and Deaths of Billy Gumboots is a darkly comedic novel.
At 41, Billy’s spent most of his life running.
When a series of events drags him back to the small town he’s done everything to avoid, Billy is befriended by Dave, the local funeral director.
But Dave’s not your average small-town undertaker. There’s something unsettling about the way he keeps turning up at the wrong moments, offering help that feels more like a thinly veiled invitation into his own strange world.
Billy can’t shake the feeling that Dave has a mysterious agenda, and it doesn’t involve helping Billy out of his mess.
Between the bizarre characters, strange coincidences, and family secrets that refuse to stay buried, Billy finds himself tangled up in a mess he can’t escape—not without a few uncomfortable truths coming to light.
The town’s dark humour and twisted charm make it impossible for Billy to avoid his past for much longer. Maybe, just maybe, he’s the one who’s been running from the wrong things.
