Damious McDreary: A Boy And His Bat Damious McDreary: A Boy And His Bat is the first book to be published by Billy Martin. It is a children`s book about a boy and his pet bat. The bat gets let out of his cage and Damious goes on a journey trying to find his pet. Martin wrote and illustrated the book. The book was expected to be released on Halloween in 2007. Billy wrote a note on his DeviantArt page commenting on the release date of the book:
"You can probably guess by now that my book isn`t coming out in October. It`s been finished for months now, it`s just taking longer than expected to finalize everything. Choosing paper type, fonts, test printing for color corrections, all kinds of stuff I never knew went into publishing a book. I don`t know the exact release date at this point, but I will give plenty of notice about it`s release as soon as I know."
Other Appearances Martin did backing vocals on the 2004 Lostprophets single Last Train Home along with fellow Good Charlotte member Benji Madden.
