  1. Other Lovers, author Natalia Rachel (Love Sex Poetry Peace trilogy series, book 1)

    Other Lovers, author Natalia Rachel (Love Sex Poetry Peace trilogy series, book 1)

    Other Lovers by Natalia Rachel is an intimate, emotionally astute novel about desire, secrecy, and the complicated stories we tell ourselves about love. Centring on characters who find themselves on the margins of conventional relationships, the book explores what it means to want more than you’re “supposed” to want  and the quiet ache of living as someone’s second, hidden, or conditional choice.  Rachel writes with sharp psychological insight, capturing the small moments where longing, guilt, and hope collide. Rather than judging its characters, Other Lovers sits with their contradictions, asking tender but unsettling questions about fidelity, autonomy, and emotional truth. It’s a novel less interested in scandal than in interior lives  how people rationalise their decisions, the cost of secrecy, and the emotional labour of loving without guarantees.  Subtle, reflective, and quietly piercing, it’s a book for readers drawn to morally complex relationships and nuanced explorations of modern intimacy. Join Lena's epic journey of learning to love in this first book of the Love Sex Poetry Peace trilogy. Her relationships become her classroom. Her poetry becomes her process. And through the right friends and the wrong men she discovers the kind of love she deeply desires and deserves.

    Full Throttle & Torque: My Alien Roadtrip, author Gry Stene

    Full Throttle & Torque: My Alien Roadtrip is a thrivival guide for brilliant, sensitive, slightly quirky humans finding their voice and their way. At some point, we've all felt like we don't quite fit. But what if the very things that make us feel out of place are actually our greatest strengths - our superpowers? If you have ever felt like an outsider, a rebel, or a beautifully wired misfit.  Through raw, funny, and fiercely honest stories from her own life, Gry will take you on a journey - from quiet, invisible girl to bold, full-throttle woman - navigating culture clashes, emotional landmines, burnout, belonging, and the search for freedom on her own terms. This isn't just another self-help book. It's a permission slip. A love letter to the parts of you that don't fit in - and don't need to.  Because the moment you stop shrinking and start riding as your whole damn self  ... that's when life really begins.

    How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates, author Shailee Thompson

    When cinephile Jamie Prescott attends a speed-dating event, she expects to meet some mediocre men and have a laugh – she doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at her table during a blackout. When the lights come back on, there are more bodies on the floor and the doors are locked. Armed with makeshift weapons and her extensive knowledge of what not to do in a slasher, Jamie must figure out how to make it out of the building alive. But as the night progresses, she begins to suspect the killer is committing the slayings to woo one of the daters. Whatever happened to roses and perfume? And why can’t Jamie stay focused on the important thing here, which is obviously not getting murdered, instead of being distracted by a few hot guys? Especially if one of those hot guys happens to be the bad guy. Shailee is an Australian educator and author, her debut novel is characterised by its sparkling wit, self-deprecation, pop-culture references and a dash of rose-coloured realism. A slasher rom-com that proves all is fair in love and gore, exploring just how terrifying modern dating can be.  To connect with Shailee .... https://shaileethompson.com/home/#books https://shaileethompson.com/home/#home www.instagram.com/shaileewrites/

  6. Stolen Man on Stolen Land, author Tyree Barnette

    Stolen Man on Stolen Land, author Tyree Barnette

    When Tyree Barnette moved to Sydney from North Carolina, he knew little of his new home. On first arriving, he was pleasantly surprised: the police treated him with respect and Black American culture seemed to be widely admired and celebrated. But in time, Tyree saw the darker side to Australia’s relationship with African American culture – a relationship that often tipped from admiration into fetishisation. The undercurrents of racism in Australia came into view, as did the ongoing struggles of Indigenous Australians against injustice. As the USA shifted its place on the global stage through the rise of Trump, the Black Lives Matter Movement and a new era of political polarisation, Tyree watched from a distance and learned the unique joy and pain of migration. Balancing the insistent tug of home with the possibility of a new life, he explores this experience with nuance, self-awareness and kindness. This is the perspective that has been missing from the race discussion in Australia, one that considers how privilege and race can shift across time and borders. Stolen Man on Stolen Land is both a love letter to Australian multiculturalism and a clear-eyed exploration of its successes and its failings.

    The Tree, #author R.D.K Marjoram

    The Tree - A Novel: Tragic and Triumphant Tales of the Human Soul A powerful tale of sacrifice, suffering, and the resilience of the human spirit. At its heart is a magical tree with a soul-an ancient, compassionate being that listens to those who are broken by the world. Blending emotional depth and psychological themes with mystical realism, R.D.K. Marjoram's debut novel follows the lives of those who come to The Tree in search of solace. From bullied children and trauma survivors; the rejected and the lonely; the envied and the stalked; the lost, the frightened and the grieving - each person shares their pain beneath its branches. And in return, The Tree gives pieces of itself-silver limbs that heal and protect-but each story it absorbs leaves a deep and painful wound. As The Tree becomes tainted by the cruelty it witnesses, it spirals toward hopelessness and despair, until an act of violence, vengeance and redemption reawakens its purpose... This unforgettable and hauntingly beautiful tale of transformation blends magic and emotional truth to explore what it really means to heal, and what it costs to care. It is a story about the cost of compassion, the darkness we carry, and the hope that can grow from even the most shattered soul. In listening, it gave. In giving, it broke. In breaking, it became. The Tree is a story of sorrow, sacrifice-and the roots of hope, healing and transformation. But sometimes, for life to flourish...something first must die!
