Bill Riley has signed with Brown Books to publish his debut novel BAGHDADDY.
An airman navigates a clash of cultures and the brutal realities of war to finally come to terms with his troubled past. He was mercilessly prepared for an unforgiving world, but each combat mission left its mark, and he only learned the real price of peace and freedom as he fought his way home.
BAGHDADDY is a coming of age memoir driven by crisis, unexpected friendship, and military operations across the Persian Gulf. It examines the rape of Kuwait, provides a first-hand look at what came after, and shines a bright light on the unique challenges of trying to rebuild a foreign country while its people are trying to kill you.
Brown Books Publishing Group was recently recognized as the #2 Fastest-Growing Independent Publisher by Publishers Weekly.
BAGHDADDY is tentatively scheduled for early 2019 release.
