    Misplaced Memories in Moments of Being #author Michael Buxton

    This collection of Australian short stories from Michael Buxton explores the lives of ordinary people who sought a better life in the suburbs after World War Two, embracing a faith in progress and the promise of an unendingly improving future. It examines their pursuit of a new suburban ideal and the gradual disintegration of the paradise they built. Misplaced Memories in Moments of Being is a haunting tapestry of linked short stories tracing the rise and unravelling of the suburban dream in the search for a modern paradise. Spanning post-war Melbourne to the dawn of the 21st century, it follows the lives of ordinary people seeking purpose while tossed by random forces as they chase their own ideals – only to find that paradise, once built, begins to crumble from within. Through childhood freedoms, silent family struggles, wartime impacts and the slow erosion of the belief in progress, this lyrical work captures the quiet epic of the everyday. With memory, nature, and time as its guide, it asks: what do we lose and can we find meaning in our relentless search for better lives?

    A Midsummer Party #author Antoni Jach

    An Australian journalist attends a party in Rome, the Eternal City. The result is at once a celebration and a distillation of what travel can be and still is: an intelligent, hilarious, and sometimes prickly conversation between cultures. With finesse, Antoni Jach affectionately lampoons everything from the publishing world and the writing life to relationships, his beloved hometown Melbourne, and the often-pompous nature of national pride. Erudite and amusing, A Midsummer Party is both a revelation, a romp and a penetrating reflection on the intersection of art and our own human foibles.

    Spark Wonder at Work #author Brooke Hill

    Work wasn't supposed to feel like this. Remember when you were a kid, and you asked a hundred questions a day? When everything felt interesting? When possibility seemed to be everywhere?

In this refreshing and thought-provoking book, Brooke Hill makes the case that wonder is essential - especially in the workplace. The old ways aren't working anymore. This book is for anyone who has ever wondered, what if there's another way? In Spark Wonder at Work, Brooke Hill takes readers from understanding why wonder matters to putting it into practice at work. Readers will learn how to: Understand what wonder is, why adults often lose touch with it, and why it matters for creativity, connection and better work. Reconnect with curiosity and imagination through play, experimentation and asking better questions. Break familiar patterns through unexpected yet proven practices Generate better ideas by understanding when to use divergent thinking and when to shift into convergent thinking. Create the conditions for wonder in teams, including psychological safety and the freedom to admit, "I don't know." This beautifully-designed book is full of illustrations and invitations to press pause and wonder. In standard format.

    Soulful Simplicity #author Faye Evans

    What if the life you are searching for begins with reconnecting with what truly matters? You may have built a full life, met expectations and become someone others depend on, yet find yourself wondering where you fit within it all. Perhaps a relationship has changed, your children need you differently, or the work that once gave you direction no longer feels the same. Soulful Simplicity offers space to explore these questions. Drawing on more than thirty years of psychological practice and personal reflection, Faye Evans brings together neuroscience, psychology, contemplative practice and spirituality to examine how we understand ourselves and move through change. Faye Evans is a psychologist, author and speaker with more than three decades of experience supporting individuals through life's transitions. Passionate about the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and spirituality, she believes that meaningful change begins when we slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and live with intention. Her book, Soulful Simplicity, reflects both her professional experience and her commitment to helping others cultivate greater wellbeing, resilience and purpose.

    Last Days of the Lotus #author A.C. Edwards

    Saigon, 1968, on the eve of Tet. The Vietnamese New Year draws near, and the city waits, restless and uneasy, the air thick with rumours of ceasefire and the taste of betrayal. Smith has served his time in the secret world – an Australian case officer grown weary of the lies that pass for intelligence, and the loyalties that dissolve at first suspicion. When a colleague is murdered and leaves behind a single word in a blood-stained notebook, Smith finds himself drawn back into the game he thought he’d abandoned. The trail leads him through bars, alleys, and burned-out villages, deeper into a war that has already devoured truth and loyalty, where every debt must be paid. As the city slides towards chaos, Smith must decide what is worth saving and what must be left behind. Author A.C. Edwards writes historical and contemporary fiction exploring power, conflict, and the individuals caught in the machinery of larger events. His novels range from espionage and political intrigue to frontier and historical fiction, united by a fascination with moral ambiguity, institutional failure, and the human consequences of history.   To connect with AC Edwards ... https://www.acedwardsauthor.com/ https://www.acedwardsauthor.com/thriller-books https://www.instagram.com/acedwardsauthor/ https://www.facebook.com/acedwardsauthor/
