For Bluey and Molly Turner, 1901 brings a big change: a baby on the way and the purchase of the Trafalgar Hotel in the tiny mining town of Trafalgar in the Western Australian goldfields. They find themselves thrust into the lifestyle of a rapidly growing mining town of diverse personalities and politics amidst learning how to run a new business. Overlooking them all is the painting of Admiral Nelson, both loved and detested. This is a heartwarming story about friendship and family, set in the turbulent times of a fast developing gold mining industry when the town of Trafalgar was in its heyday. The three families of the Turners, O'Connells and Primroses, core to the Trafalagar Hotel, face the challenges of daily life, clashes of culture, a devastating war, and the inlfuenza pandemic, whilst watching their own children grow up to a rapidly changing world.Based on the historical events which affected Trafalgar from 1900-1925, Nod to the Admiral brings the tiny town and its inhabitants to life with empathy and a touch of humour.

When Rufus Enterprises hears of this so-called dream, he is furious and decides to deal the problem in a wicked way, through a ritual castaway. He retells the terrifying tales and legends of 'Old John' Sullivan to frighten the boys into submission and stamp out all talk of dreams and dreamers.Benjamin shares the dream with six others who become 'outcasts', when a 'snitch' called Jake, brings them undone.

Escape into a rich world of family intrigue and self-discovery that reaches across three centuries and across cultures. This unique tale draws us gently into itself but it also stimulates discussion about other important issues that remain current.At a time when Australia had its back turned on Asia and when White Australia buried its origins, a curious girl refused to accept the stuffy options on offer and reached out beyond the confines of her known world in search of love and something more. It began as an escape but became a much deeper quest. Her adventures took her from Australia to Bougainville, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Bangladesh and Thailand as she collided with love, betrayal, political flashpoints and destiny in a journey of metamorphosis.Given a pack of cards that dictate our gender, place of birth, time of birth, that can spell poverty, revolution, persecution or comfort, love and ease, how do each of us manage these and what chance is there of rising above them through the choices we make? Is our fate written? Do we let our shadows lead us to repeat our mistakes? What power do we have to create our own destiny? What is it that all human beings want most despite culture and so-called accidents of birth? Is it just to eat, pray and love or to give something more to the world around them?

As a young Friar I was fortunate to spend some time on my own in reflection and meditation, as I wandered in the Holy Land, including Jerusalem and elsewhere, Dorset in the United Kingdom, and Assisi in Italy. I see this an important moment of pilgrimage in my life. This volume was crafted at that time. Moments of beauty, lucidity and exploration are reproduced for you here, in the hope that you might also make some sense of what can only ever be, your own deeply personal journeys.

Turn it Up! is part-memoir of my time as a musician and journalist, and part-pop history, examining some of the unsung or more interesting bands which I have connected with in some way since I began listening to the radio as a kid.It begins with my first concert experience as a thirteen-year-old watching Ike and Tina Turner. I then revisit the records that impacted on me as a young teenager and the music that spurred me on to play myself when I was older. I weave in and out of my chequered progress in music, while pausing now and then to shine a light on the way rock music evolved in the eighties and nineties. The mood is studious and knowledgeable but also light and comedic as I revisit some of my more eventful interviews I conducted with acts such as Bjork, Nirvana and Pulp. Throughout the book I detail the way my own bands became successful, but not quite successful enough, and detail the various catastrophes which may have contributed to that. I introduce the reader to some of the more eccentric characters I have met through music, from Lenny the Launceston punk, who burned down his own shop accidentally, to Kevin Shields from the band My Bloody Valentine who took 55 minutes to answer one question I'd put to him. The book is not dissimilar to Giles Smith's Lost In Music, but that book is very much of the UK in the '80s, and doesn't examine the strange dynamic between the interviewer and the interviewee, which can veer between both parties wishing they were doing something else, to a more edgy encounter where the possibility of a 'scoop' gets the blood rushing. The book ends with some reflections on why music can be the most constant and loved companion in our lives. Turn It Up! is 55 000 words long.

The 2 tomes, Infinity of Zeitgeist Doppelgangers and The Compleat OWL: The Forever Zeitgeist 1950-2050, have been created primarily for a reader-market who hasn't been born yet. Through the lens of satire they will read about the thoughts, beliefs and aspirations of those who lived in our 'Century of Insanity', 1950-2050. But current generations might also be interested in learning what all 'our' thoughts are 'now' according to the psychologist author. Hubris, (individual and species) will take a back seat to enlightenment as ordinary characters wrestle with intuitive realisations of infinite cosmic evolution to 'perfect intelligence.'It's also a literary phenomenon which places Australia, the little big country, in the global headlight. The two books, a combined sixteen hundred plus pages, are not created to just facilitate further thought and discussion but to galvanise real action to address obvious global social injustices and resource imbalances.For readers alive in our current epoch, in this Century of Insanity, the target reader market is Baby Boomers; especially those who might be feeling guilty about the way civilisation has ended up under their watch.Infinity of Zeitgeist Doppelgangers - Volume OneHere are four cosmic tales where names, time, places, characters, genders and plots are, in one sense, arbitrary. They are just shadows of the doppelgängers that inhabit an infinite number of universes where chronology is meaningless.Yet they share the constancy of the cosmic zeitgeist. In this case the Century of Insanity 1950-2050. Alien TouchThe Vampire Club has tentacles around the world, holding key business and political members in a fatal lock.

He brings the self-help concept to fruition, experiences the rigours of capitalism and the responsibility of playing with nuclear power; all the while unknowingly monitored by a cosmic entity.This literary phenomenon starts the Australian journey from 'good ideas' to Global leadership ... and far beyond!

My brother stood not two feet away from me, called me Lina to my face, and pulled Harley into his arms, saying he was sorry, sobbing, and calling him his boy."An apparition in Sydney's fruit and vegetable market leaves the mother of one of Clyde's best friends believing that her brother, hanged for murder twenty-four years beforehand, has somehow risen from the grave and confronted her.She is adamant that the visitation was real and visits Clyde asking him to investigate the mass murder her brother was supposed to have committed. She believes he was either set up or was covering for someone else's crime.Could this vision have been a folie à deux, a delusional vision shared by both mother or son? As Clyde investigates, clues lead him to one of Australia's most famous silent screen actors, a man who, together with his murdered father, becomes intrinsically linked to the mass murder, known as The Killing at Candal Creek.Wheels within wheels, lies, extortion, and coverups lead Clyde to a bloody confrontation on a deserted beach in the tropics.
