Once again, Anne Freeman has written a powerful and original tale with her newest novel, The Time After Now, which brings readers on a journey of mystery, grief, love, regret, and just a little bit of partying and drugs.

Camille Booker’s first and prize-winning novel, If I Could Fly, has been recast and rereleased as a tour de force, Code Name Funnel Web. The impact of war is explored first in Sydney suburb, Como, and then into German Occupied France and the wider network of WWII through the actions of steely protagonist, Frances.
