COOMBS-VALEONTIS, Kerryn

This collection is relentlessly attached to life, barging into galactic boudoirs, unabashed, and suddenly shy, it loves; it dares the sacrament of flowers and tiny birds… audacious with courage born of joy, sorrow and a woman’s not very quiet desperation.

PERTA, Maria

PERTA, Maria

Around us beautiful things shine. An ocean under moonlight.
Diamonds on the curve of a neck. A lover’s eyes through candlelight.
All glints between the shadows. We choose whether to step inside.
To meet the story. Darkness. Sorrow. Great radiance. Whatever lies amid the light. We can find it. It depends only on whether we pause and look beneath the shimmer.

BARKER, Janelle

Janelle is a wife, mother and nana who loves the closeness of family.
She found her inspiration to write again once she moved from the city to the country. Janelle prefers to work from behind the scenes rather than be in the spotlight.
Her writing begins on the surface, before delving effortlessly down into a far more thought-provoking place, taking you with her.
