Inner World

 

A tale of friendship, courage, and a world just beyond the veil

In 1957 England, five friends dream of sticking together. But when Kathy is forced into finishing school, the dream begins to splinter.

Then comes the bridge. Locals whisper of strange disappearances beneath it—but none of the teens believe it… until Kathy runs toward the glowing lights beneath and vanishes.

She awakens in a world both beautiful and perilous—one ruled by ancient magic, roving Arcana clans, and a shadowy force named Threads who seeks to control her. As Kathy navigates this realm, she finds unlikely allies—including a sharp-witted traveler named Crall—and a kingdom on the brink of war.

When her friends follow through the bridge to find her, they are drawn into the same conflict. Guided by Grenwana, a powerful seer, and Mangnor, the king’s enigmatic feline artist, they journey to Ellandarre—only to discover the kingdom under siege and time running out.

Tim’s Dance Mix

 

A mixtape of music, mistakes and ordinary mysteries

The year is 1990 and Tim has just turned 16. He lives in a coastal city south of Sydney and his life is about to change profoundly as he begins to make the first transitions from boyhood to manhood.

This growth is accompanied by confusion and some trauma, – physical, emotional and psychological – especially in his early attempts to meet and connect with girls.

It’s also marked by his development as a musician, and the recognition of this talent by his school music teacher, who quietly mentors him and provides the opportunity for him to join the school’s only rock band.

But nothing goes smoothly in the early stages as he forges the beginnings of growth towards maturity, in a struggle where he finds both support and opposition.

About the Author

 

GREG WYTHES is a long-term resident of the northern Illawarra. He has been an English teacher in local high schools, as well as teaching yoga, qigong, massage and bodywork in local colleges and studios. For much of his time in schools he dabbled in music, working with in-school bands, as well as for drama, dance and musical performances, mainly in the area of live production.

He is particularly attracted to the geography of the northern Illawarra: the dozen or more bays and beaches, the steep rise of the escarpment to the west and the bushland that reaches down to the edge of most suburbs. It’s a unique environment: one where the natural world virtually surrounds the urban world. He enjoys spending time in that natural world.

Zack Ferguson was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia where he lives with his family. He is an ideas man with a bizarre sense of humour and a love for creativity, music, and potentially voice acting. He is also a drummer, playing since he was six years old, and a part-time mash-up artist on YouTube and Instagram, who spends way too long perfecting his craft. In his early years he enjoyed creating games on a website called Scratch, but eventually realised that he was much more interested in telling the stories he made for them. Zack’s love for storytelling and creative writing grew throughout high school, where he finally found inspiration in his final year to put pen to paper to write his first novel: The Billionaire’s Club.
