The first true story of life inside the repossession field!
One of the most electrifying and significant documents ever written about the repossession field, “THE MAN CAME AND TOOK IT AWAY” is the authentic story of this controversial profession as seen through the eyes of the dynamic man who owned the world’s largest agency. Bill Bowser, who spent 45 years battling drug pushers, hardcore criminals, sexual deviates, police harassment, deadbeats and even the Mafia, now has disclosed with horrific clarity the dangerous, intriguing, challenging, baffling and outrageous situations which the repossessor meets in an average day’s work. He has repossessed everything from hearing aids on deceased persons, to airliners, and everything in between, including cars,trucks, tractors, pigs, dogs,boats, wooden legs, buildings, tombstones and stallions.
Bowser, probably the most dedicated man ever to enter this field, was determined to get every job done, regardless of personal danger. While performing what perhaps is the most hush-hush, but very necessary, task involved in the preservation of the financial structure of the U.S., death was his ever-present companion. Bowser has been pistol-whipped, shot at, run off the highway at high speeds and burned out, but never was stopped, not even for a day.

William G. “Bill” Bowser has realized in life what most men probably will only dream of doing. He turned a vision into reality, thus creating a truly
unique American success story. For an accomplishment of this type in today’s technological world, a great deal of knowledge is a prerequisite.
More than that, talent is necessary. Bowser innately was endowed with both of these essentials, which all too many must attempt to purchase in
the academic marketplace. Since action has been the key word in his life, he has continued unceasingly to enhance natural attributes. In other
environments, Bowser might have become a military strategist, economic analyst or sociologist, for he has an enigmatic instinct for pinpointing
motivations for which others must probe laboriously. These potentialities, coupled with keen executive capabilities, insight into human nature, an
acute social conscience and carefully controlled compassion, undoubtedly added immensely to his brilliant contribution to society through the
repossession profession. Few innovators of Bowser’s stature can relate an absorbing and engrossing story that approaches the dimensions of the
adventures he so adroitly has described.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
