A WORLD OF HIDDEN TREASURES THAT CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY
Throughout history, kings and emperors have amassed great wealth. This fortune grows and evolves over time. Treasure is handed down through generations, shaping civilizations and founding new nations.
Humanity’s central quest has always been to acquire something invaluable. Driven by desires, people seek profit and wealth, as no one wishes to be impoverished.
The rich often keep their treasures secured in locked safes, raising the question: what is the purpose of hiding such precious items?
Ultimately, all treasures are passed down or lost, waiting to be rediscovered. Across time, valuable riches circulate or remain concealed forever. Still, the instinct to seek ultimate fortune persists, leading individuals to pursue riches for both noble and nefarious purposes.

Existence is fragile but the past leaves its mark
Two story-lines intertwine between two very different times in the remote Tasmanian wilderness around Cradle Mountain. Hannah, a graduate scientist takes a break and travels with friend Emma to Cradle Mountain to work in the Lodge. The year is 1990. On her first night at the Lodge, during a fierce storm, she thinks she sees a dark face with pin-point red eyes staring at her through the rain-soaked window. So begins a journey of discovery.
In 1836, Charlotte and her family are trying to eek out a living on a parcel of land gifted to them by the government. Charlotte, against dire warning from her father, befriends an indigenous man and his family. She begins to sense something, another world or time. Charlotte sets out on a quest to discover what is the meaning of her visions.
Meanwhile, in 1990, a group of scientists is using the Lodge as a base for their preliminary research into finding viable DNA of a thylacine with the aim of genetic extinction reversal. Hannah questions if this is ethically the right thing to do. One shocking discovery will change Hannah’s whole world.

The Adventures of Tassie Tiger
The Adventures of Tassie Tiger is a delightful tale about the last surviving Tasmanian Tiger and his Aussie animal buddies. Together, they journey through the Tasmanian bush, navigate rivers, and scale Cradle Top Mountain, where they encounter two nature lovers who help save Tassie from hunter Hank.
Herein lies a heartwarming tale with an inspiring conservationist message, rooted in actual historical fact that saw the hunting of Tasmanian Tigers banned in 1936. Sadly these efforts weren’t enough, the animal now extinct – their spirit lives on and still has something to teach our young ones – even from the ‘mysterious beyond’.

Wars may break nations but brotherhood defies history
The High Cost of Duty. The Human Price of War.
From the battlefields of the Great War to the ruins of the Second, Echoes of the Fatherland traces the lives of three men bound by blood, loyalty, and the weight of a nation’s fate. The First World War— hailed as the war to end all wars—left Germany scarred and humiliated, sowing the seeds for a new and even greater inferno. Out of that smouldering defeat rises a generation desperate for purpose, only to be swept once more into the flames.
Through the eyes of Hans, Wilhelm, and Friedrich, the story unfolds across decades of upheaval: from the disillusioned veterans of 1918 to the fervent patriots of the 1930s, from the deserts of North Africa to the frozen rivers of the Eastern Front.
As Germany’s destiny spirals toward destruction, these men are forced to confront the moral and human cost of their service—and the haunting question of what it truly means to love one’s fatherland.

EBOOK
An overdue natural phenomenon. A cyber hoax. Is this the second coming of Christ?
Father Brian Abernathy, a disgraced priest banished to a small country town in Australia, is infatuated with a solar scientist who is trying to predict the unpredictable.
On the opposite side of the world, two bored former hackers are inspired to release a cyber virus professing the return of Jesus Christ.
Two prophecies: one fake, one imminent. When the two collide, chaos and tragedy results.
Who is prepared to risk everything to stop a society on the brink of hysteria: the priest, the pimp, the pope, or the scientist? Or perhaps an act from God himself?
Mostly set in Tasmania but with protagonists in Los Angeles and Europe, The Second Coming is a fast-paced psychological thriller from debut author Peter Edward.

Camels have been employed on numerous journeys of exploration across the Australian inland. We have, of course, never heard the point of view of one of these powerful beasts of burden.
Now, Dean Koopman has granted a voice to Shabby, the singleminded lead camel on Koopman’s extraordinary 2004 one-man, three-camel expedition from Broome across the Great Sandy Desert to Alice Springs and on to South Australia’s Spencer Gulf.
Shabby turns out to be an astute observer of the ageless beauty of the inland, its perils and its lonely heart breaks, where time is measured only in the plodding spaces between camps – 181 of them.
He is also a droll and affectionate humourist concerning his human companion, Koopman, known to Shabby as “the greenhorn”, who protects his team from attacks by wild bull camels, sews them up when the track turns close to deadly and keeps them fed and watered across thousands of tough kilometres.
Dean Koopman has given us a unique and unforgettable new voice in the great Australian story. Shabby: a bush philosopher for the ages. You’ll fall in love.
