The Adventure of Mama and Me

 

Part proceeds of this book go to the Animal Welfare League

This is a heartwarming story about a baby rabbit, living with her mother and how she likes caring for her, gathering and preparing food, and the adventures along the way, meeting new friends and finally the anticipation of something special that’s going to happen.

About the Author

Since childhood, not being able to have a normal life, I replaced what I was missing with my pet animals mostly rabbits. I found happiness, enjoyment and the loving feeling of caring for something.

Even though the story is about a family of rabbits caring for one another, it also reflects the love and caring of my mother.

Harry

 

When 18-year-old Harry is just beginning to find his feet after a difficult childhood in post-WWI Adelaide, he experiences heart-rending rejection and runs away to the Australian outback where, as an awkward station hand, he discovers a rare talent for shearing. Success as a gun shearer gives him confidence he’s only dreamed of but also brings with it, the biggest battle of his life. A challenge that needs someone bigger than himself to overcome.
 
Harry is a fictional narrative based on the true story of a profoundly deaf boy who endures bullying, abandonment and coming of age escapades. Then as a man, he encounters the tough but honest breed of men from the Aussie bush where he discovers success, failure, true friendship and love. Filled with humourous tales of life in the incredible Australian outback, it brings hope to each of us that have ever faced a life impacting-challenge.

About the Author

Julie works as an anaesthetic nurse and facing life and death scenarios often, this has given her insight into the unsung heroes who just do life. So many people’s lives are incredible. Obstacles overcome, dreams realised, good times and laughter, tough times and sadness. We just need to hear their stories. That is Julie’s dream. To tell the world the stories that otherwise, remain hidden. If they could do it, so can we.

Her debut novel Harry takes her father’s captivating outback Australian tales and surrounds them with his inspirational life.

She is passionate about many things. Chocolate, family and breaking down people’s stuffy stereotypes are just a few.

She lives with three adult children and one husband, whose life’s goals are to keep her humble, and three dogs and two cats who are constantly hungry, no matter how much they eat.

A member of the Australian Writers’ Centre and Writers Centre SA, she has completed numerous creative writing courses and hopes to one day be taken seriously as an author.

She is currently working on her second novel.

Bullied to Broken

This is Maddy’s story.

Much of her story is from her text messages and accounts to those she was close to. I am proud to be my daughter’s voice. This book has also become my story. Maddy, suffered bullying from a young age. This caused her severe mental health trauma and left her with self-esteem issues, panic attacks and anxiety. On 24 June 2018 Maddy took her own life, aged 23 years.

This book is intended to advocate for mental health awareness. Maddy lived in fear for much of her young adult life. Maddy had a high drive for perfectionism. Maddy was afraid to let people know of her mental health issues as she feared judgment by others. Maddy’s story will give an insight into how bullying effects the individual, the long lasting psychological trauma that it can cause. It is hoped that people who choose to bully can find empathy to cease the behaviour. It discusses strategies to cope with bullying, how to build resilience and ways to heal pain and grief.

Bullying is becoming an epidemic. Children are bullying in the school yard, and then through cyberbullying. There is bullying in workplaces and sporting organisations. There is often no respite for those being bullied. Many of those who are bullied have chronic mental health issues, increased risks of suicide, there is more burden on the health care system and exorbitant costs to the government, the cycle goes around and around. Writing this book has been a difficult personal journey. I hope that Maddy’s story will help others, then the journey would have been worth it.

About the Author

Traffic Offences in South Australia

Traffic offences are the most expiated, and prosecuted of any category of offences in South Australia. Arguably no other area of the law so directly engages the community.

Traffic Offences in South Australia offers a concise and comprehensive account of the law regulating drivers and the driving of motor vehicles.
Its coverage extends from drivers licences and demerit points, to driving offences, including driving whilst disqualified, drink and drug driving, and the more significant Australian Road Rules. On each it identifies the relevant Supreme Court cases and the principles decisive to their resolution. The book also identifies issue of procedure, proof and defence at trial drawn from the author’s substantial practical experience in this area.

Organised by subject topic the book serves both lawyers, police prosecutors and the community. Its easy and readable style is designed to offer ready insight and provide quick answers to those faced with questions in this otherwise complex area of the law.
