📚 Here are our NOV/ DEC releases ...
📕 SPECIAL DELIVERY
@leesaronaldwrites @allenandunwin
Moving back to her country town, single, jobless and pregnant was never Poppy’s plan. After the birth she feels lost, and crossing paths with the awful midwife, James, doesn’t help. Until she begins to realise she may have misjudged him, which complicates things. A book about learning to let go of the past and that the strongest relationships are often those forged when you’re at rock bottom.
📙 IN THE MARGINS
@gailholmesauthor @ultimopress
Inspired by a real person, IN THE MARGINS is the story of spirited book-collector, Frances Wolfreston—the woman who uniquely preserved the earliest part of Shakespeare’s legacy. Set in Puritan England in 1647, a rector’s wife must choose between enforcing religious compliance or helping the women and children of her parish.
📓 A KILLER AMONG FRIENDS
@andreabartonauthor @wingsepress
Just after Jade returns home from many years abroad, a friend is found dead in a dumpster. She turns to their tight-knit circle for answers, only to uncover a web of lies. With evidence her best friend Elena’s death three years earlier may not have been suicide, Jade realizes the murder suspects are all people she loves and her life depends on knowing who to trust.
📘 VESSEL
@dani_netherclift @upswellpublishingau
In 1993, when she was 18 years old, Dani Netherclift witnessed the drowning deaths of her father and brother in an irrigation channel in NE Victoria.
This eloquent, honest and raw exploration of grief and the role writing can play in forging a path through it, pulls together a language of space and ruin, interleaving stories of what it means to lose the physical body of a person you love.
📔 THE SKELETON CREW
@swalezzzz @blackcockiepress
In near-future Australia, it’s been twelve days since a communications blackout on a deep-sea oil and gas platform in the southern ocean. Join the skeleton crew as they race against time, the elements, and each other as they take their fate into their own hands to discover why the world has fallen silent. A challenging mystery in a world of petrostates and resource wars, racked by climate crisis and conflict.
