'Living The Dream: Inspirations and Insights is the compelling and poignant memoir of Ken Piesse, Australia’s most published living author with a rare passion for cricket and football.

'Packed with all of his insights and inspirations, Ken tells all – from his battle for recognition against the rebuffs to his now successful and multi-faceted career in sports.

'Despite great personal loss, tragedies and triumphs along the way, Living the Dream: Inspirations and Insights is a tribute to a passionate life for all things sports.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon David Warner: the Bull : Daring to Be Different Ken Piesse , Melbourne : Woodslane Press , 2023 26909648 2023 single work biography

'The first Australian cricketer to play 100 internationals across all three levels (Tests, ODIs and T20s), David Warner is a champion of his generation; fabulous but flawed. No Australian opener in history has surpassed his rapid-fire strike rate in excess of 70 runs per 100 balls. Only one other has surpassed his aggregate of 45 centuries across all levels.

'Feisty, flamboyant, verbose and villainous, few have been as entertaining or as polarising as the great David Warner.

'The Bull is the first full-scale biography of one of Australian cricket’s champions of the generation. It features the yarns, the stats and all the fun of cricket’s greatest entertainer.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon On Ya Warnie Ken Piesse , Paul Harvey , Melbourne : Wilkinson Publishing , 2022 24744920 2022 single work biography

'The Ultimate Celebration 

'Shane Warne was captivating and outrageous, a once-in-a-lifetime genius.

'The Warnie aura transcended the game. Always the grand master, he bought an unequalled theatre to the game. He was a rock star in creams: captivating, charismatic, and caring. He danced and cavorted, he challenged and flaunted. Australian sport’s ultimate headliner, he made cricket cool. No-one, not even Don Bradman, won more cricket matches for Australia.

'On Ya Warnie celebrates Australia’s ultimate celebrity cricketer, taken from us so cruelly before his time. It features the yarns, the laughs, the flippers, the fancies and much, much more.'  (Publication summary)
