Valour’s idyllic life turned upside down after leaving the army. The Afghanistan War veteran is now homeless and estranged from his wife and daughter. His Labrador remains his sole companion on the streets of Warrior Beach. On a December day, Valour is unexpectedly reunited with loved ones and friends, bringing back uncomfortable memories. What happened in Afghanistan and can the former soldier redeem himself? Sometimes the hardest battles are fought on the home front.

Author:
Will was born in Toronto, Canada and raised in Sydney, Australia. He lives on Sydney’s Northwest with his wife Jamie. Will works as a senior Media Advisor to a Senior NSW Government Minister. His hobbies include running, reading, travelling, volunteering, movies and watching cricket. Camouflage Kids was Will’s first book, Soul Captains being his second. As a child, learning of his grandfather’s service and time spent as a prisoner of war during the Second World War, instilled in him a passion for military issues. Will’s volunteer work since 2007 with Legacy, a charity which supports families of veterans, inspired him to write. Previous work as a Policy Adviser to the NSW Veterans Affairs Minister also exposed him to the challenges affecting contemporary veterans and their families.
