In the End

In autumn 2016, as Lexie Scotland approaches her 37th birthday, she stumbles across a letter written by her estranged father 27 years earlier. Still reeling from the loss of her childhood sweetheart, Luke, and the recent death of her Nan, the letter reignites a fire within her to find her father. With the help of her best friend AJ, that possibility becomes a reality. However, beneath the surface, Lexie is plagued by nightmares that threaten the future she has been trying so hard to build.

In the End is a story about love, loss, friendship and finding your way in the darkest of times.

Spin

Geoff Stradling likes to think he’s one of the good guys. And it’s important to stay stoic in the face of a few challenges. So what if the company he’s working for shows dubious business ethics? Or that his boss is a back-stabbing narcissist? Or that his girlfriend is happily rid of him? Let’s not mention getting overlooked for that promotion. The less said about that, the better.

But his dream job is just around the corner. Maybe a couple of tweaks to his CV are required, but who cares? Money. Power. It might just go to his head. 

He can have it all… for the price of his soul.

Spin  is a cynically funny look at marketing and corporate ethics. It’s accompanied by questionable business tactics, cheap giveaways and the most gripping final chapter you will ever read.*

The Skinny Spell

If you could click your fingers and be skinny, would you do it?

Evie Swan has a great life, an amazing job, a beautiful child, and a big problem: she is fat. Evie is desperate to lose weight, but every diet she’s tried has failed.

One day, Evie meets a mysterious stranger who gives her a magic mirror. The mirror is a portal to an alternate universe where Evie’s life is the same in every way except one. On the other side of the mirror, she has the skinny body of her dreams.

But the spell comes with conditions. Evie has three chances to use the mirror, and one choice to make. She must decide whether to be fat or to be thin.

The decision about which body to choose seems like a no-brainer. But Evie’s adventures through the mirror make her choice less straightforward than expected.

After you Came

Stuart Kingston had enough of tripping over dead bodies during 1987… unfortunately 1988 doesn’t look like being any different.

As Bicentennial celebrations begin in Sydney, David Wyatt, a young gay man, is found murdered in an alleyway in Darlinghurst. With few leads, Inspector Carrington enlists Stuart to escort his constable undercover at Touchstone sauna, the last place that David was seen alive. Can Carrington catch the killer before more men are murdered? And can Stuart stop thinking about his former lover, the hunky carpenter Dexter, for long enough to be of any help?

In this sequel to The Day Before You Came, all the much-loved characters return, including Stuart’s mother Miriam, who has a new career on daytime TV, and his theatre friend, Winston, who meets a mysterious stranger.

So, strap in for another camp ride through the Eastern Suburbs, where anyone can be a murderer, and no-one is quite as they seem.
