Our Dreaming

 

Our Dreaming is a haunting tale of trauma, faith, and the fragile bond between people and the spirit of their country

At the foot of the Blue Mountains, young Arthur Cooke runs from a home torn apart by violence and finds refuge in an unlikely place—a zoo where the animals can speak. Among them is Gali, a wise red kangaroo who teaches him the ancient stories of the Dreamtime.

But the Dreaming is more than myth. As Arthur grows, strange visions, vengeful spirits, and a whispering serpent reveal a world on the edge of collapse. When a supernatural disaster strikes Australia, Arthur and Gali are drawn into a struggle between humankind and the ancient powers of the land.

As secrets surface and loyalties are tested, Arthur must face a terrible truth about his mentor—and about himself.

About the Author

 

From childhood, Nathan Bernacki has had a passion for history and fantasy and he delves deeper when others would turn away. His stories reflect that with roots in the twilight zone between what has happened and what will never happen.

A keen optimist, Nathan likes to write stories about division and silence and how people can overcome that. His first novel, Our Dreaming, is rooted in his desire to see a world where people confront history without fear or vitriol.

Nathan lives in Western Sydney with his family and when he has no chores, he lets his imagination run wild when writing stories.

The Riders

 

THE MISSION IS CLEAR. THE TRUTH IS NOT.

When a squad of Grassland Riders vanishes without a trace, twin apprentices Ayliah and Fareed set out on a journey that will challenge everything they believe. Their search leads them deep into Raider territory where survival demands not just skill—but the courage to choose wisely.

Yet the further they ride, the more truths surface—reaching beyond the plains and into the heart of power. In a court where power and influence are currency, can two young Riders make themselves heard before war ignites?

And in a race against time, as loyalties shift and motives unravel, one question lingers: who can they trust?

To succeed, Ayliah and Fareed must become more than apprentices. They must decide who they are—and what they’re willing to become.

Alexa Star

 

A STAR AND MOON COLLIDE.

Her name and magic are synonymous with legends. Why? Because Alexa Star was the galaxy’s hero.

When the prince asks her to come to the palace, she doesn’t know what to expect. He’s been her best friend for twenty years and is next in line for the throne. So, there’s nothing he could say that would scare her. Right? Wrong.

He admits that he is petrified of his crown and urges her to become his regent. Since helping people is what she does, she has a hard time telling him no.

All he ever coveted was her, and now he’s getting her. To rule beside him, then perhaps, to call his own. Things are finally falling into place for Eugene.

That is until his father finds out about Alexa’s new role. The image of her sitting in a position of power has him seeing red.

Can the hearts of two best friends withstand the fear, love and shadows of a looming crown?

UNTIL THE STARS CLAIM US……IS ONLY THE BEGINNING.

About the Author

 

AUTUMN FOX lives in Australia with her husband, who actively feeds her ever-growing TBR. Which is ironic, because as a kid, you couldn’t have paid her to read. Pick up a book? No, thank you.

She’s an avid fantasy and romantasy reader, dabbling in rom coms at the moment. Mushrooms (fake ones), fairy-sized homes and some dust adorn her bookshelves. I know it’s gross. I’ll tell her.

Wear your wings with pride, read what you want without judgement, and live vicariously through your imagination. Autumn says it’s okay.

In the heart of Sarsean, where shadows twist and secrets lurk, a skilled thief named Tarin finds himself ensnared by an unforgiving crime syndicate. With debts mounting, his only chance for survival lies in the retrieval of a seemingly mundane crystal shard hidden deep within abandoned ruins far from the city’s grasp.
