W. Bruce Cameron

"The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man introduces my favorite kind of flawed cynical protagonist in Ruddy McCann, former football star, now Repo Man in a small town full of memorable weirdos. It's suspenseful, action-packed, romantic, and above all, truly funny. I loved it.” —Nelson DeMille, New York Times bestselling author

W. Bruce Cameron, author of A DOG'S PURPOSE and 8 SIMPLE RULES for DATING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER, celebrates the release of The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man on November 10. However, we are actually pre-celebrating. When you pre-order The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man during October, $4 of the sale will go to Villalobos Rescue Center.

Ruddy McCann, former college football star, now Kalkaska, Michigan repo man, has a fairly simple life repossessing cars, hanging out with his dog Jake, and working at the bar his sister inherited from their parents, enjoying the nightly company of friends and all of their colorful patrons.

Simple, that is, until he starts hearing a voice in this head.

The voice introduces himself as Alan Lottner, a real estate agent who was murdered eight years ago. Ruddy fears he’s contracted the dreaded Repo Madness—a condition brought on by the constant stress of repossessing the often-hidden cars of irate, not to mention non-paying, owners. But what if Alan is real? He sure sounds like he is. Ruddy’s mind is spinning just thinking about it, and to complicate matters even more, it turns out Katie, the girl he is falling for, is Katie Lottner—Alan’s daughter.

Rudy's attentions would be better spent helping his sister keep the Black Bear afloat and wrapping up a particularly trying repo job. But it's hard to avoid the voice literally stuck in his head, and soon Rudy is trying to figure out what happened to Alan and trying to avoid the same fate himself.

Bruce Cameron is also renowned for his wildly popular “dog-centric” novels—most notably, the New York Times and USA Today bestselling A Dog’s Purpose (which spent a year on the NYT list) and its equally successful sequel, A Dog’s Journey.

Laguna Beach Books is pleased to welcome W. Bruce Cameron, author of A Dog’s Purpose: A Novel for Humans. The bookstore will donate 10% of the cover price of all books sold that day to The Pet Rescue Center in Mission Viejo. A Dog’s Purpose is the remarkable story of one endearing dog’s search for his purpose over the course of several lives. More than just another charming dog story, A Dog’s Purpose touches on the universal quest for an answer to life’s most basic question: Why are we here? Surprised to find himself reborn as a rambunctious golden-haired puppy after a tragically short life as a stray mutt, Bailey’s search for his new life’s meaning leads him into the loving arms of eight-year-old Ethan. During their countless adventures, Bailey joyously discovers how to be a good dog. But this life as a family pet is not the end of Bailey’s journey. Reborn as a puppy yet again, Bailey wonders — will he ever find his purpose? Heartwarming, insightful, and often laugh-out-loud funny, A Dog’s Purpose is not only the emotional and hilarious story of a dog’s many lives, but also a dog’s eye commentary on human relationships and the unbreakable bonds between man and man’s best friend. This moving and beautifully crafted story teaches us that love never dies, that our true friends are always with us, and that every creature on Earth is born with a purpose.
