Book excerpt: Once a Westie, always a Westie... There's something special about people who have ever lived in West Auckland. It's as if they have been imbued with a spirit of freedom and independence by the west's awesome landscape, its commanding hills, rain forest and wild beaches. From Te Atatu to Titirangi, from Piha to Helensville, the west is full of extraordinary characters: pioneers, grafters, artists and visionaries. Enthusiasm, creativity, tolerance and a 'can do' attitude mark out the true Westie. In this book, Waitakere mayor Bob Harvey profiles 60 prominent and not so prominent Westies from all walks of life. Among those chosen for inclusion are rugby legend Michael Jones, fashion designer Karen Walker, potter Len Castle, Judge Mick Brown, singer Jan Hellriegel, the pioneering Bethells family, writer Sandra Coney, the Lawson quins and Maori leader Pita Sharples. Some surprising inclusions are singer John Rowles, Sir Edmund Hillary, naturists Les and Laurel Olsen and the exotic Mistress Sabrina, as well as some great Westie icons: the black T-shirt, the Holden V8 and Lion Rock. In his introduction, Bob Harvey explains what it means to be a Westie and why the area produces so many extraordinary characters. The text is supported by a large number of original photographs by the talented Titirangi photographer, Antoine Gasperini.

Book excerpt: In Whacker McCracker's Cafe we first met the utterly original ex-Auckland businessman who escaped his five predatory ex-wives by moving to Waiheke Island to open a simple little cafe and start a new life. Whacker's hilarious first year on the island created colorful mayhem - but that was nothing compared to what happens when his eccentric aunt moves to Waiheke from Gore and buys a new vineyard. For her piggery. Then things really warm up. There's the enormous statue of Jesus with pigs that appears on the Waiheke skyline for a start, battles with bureaucracy, a rampant elephant marauding on the beach at midnight and an evil plan to turn the vineyard into a sewage plant...as Whacker, Wally, Mal and Big Bets drive Sergeant Jack stark raving bonkers. With his wildly creative imagination firing on all cylinders, Whacker finds and exploits some unique market gaps, poking lighthearted fun at the more pretentious end of the wine market. With loads of belly laughs and slapstick non pc fun, Whacker McCracker's Vineyard is ideal summer reading, to accompany the simultaneous re-issue of Whacker McCracker's Cafe.
