Set in Chicago, 1975, Double take is the story of artsy Rachel Cochrane, who returns from college with no job and confronts the recent death of Bando, one of her best friends. When she runs into Joey, a mutual friend, their conversations take them back into their shared past and to the revelation that Bando may have been murdered. To find out who murdered him, Rachel is forced to revisit her stormy 1960s adolescence, a journey that brings her into contact with her old friends, her old self, and danger.

The Dangers of Truffle Hunting

Kit Gossard is a successful food photographer from a boutique winery family with links to ancestral French vineyards. Engaged to furniture designer Scott, her life seems perfect and her future neatly mapped out. And yet she cannot escape a hunger for... something more. Her art feels constrained, her life unfulfilled, but she is determined to ignore this nagging dissatisfaction. When another man appears who is neither successful nor creative, but selfgoverned and undefined, he calls out in Kit something that has long been suppressed. Black truffle hunting, illicit pastry lessons, and vine fruit on flesh: Kit’s world starts to come undone, and she likes it. She gives herself over to this raw, unfettered way of being, but suddenly... it crumbles. The new man is not who he seems, a dormant ancestral feud comes to life and Kit is now more lost than found. Spanning the Australian wine country and the French provinces, Kit wrestles with familial duty and the fear of being alone to hold on to her true self and, with any luck, hold on to her man.

Perfect couple; perfect lie. The not-to-be missed new psychological thriller from Caroline Overington.

They say love conquers all. It’s a lie. Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal. For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they’d never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me. Dornan. His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he’d become so immersed in the cartel’s brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore. Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing. Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him? Did I even want to?

Who is the author, known only as ‘Ruby’, and what became of her child? And how does a priceless work of art, stolen by the Nazis, form part of the unfolding mystery? As he explores Berlin and visits its war memorials and museums, an astonished Kobi begins to realise he is part of the story, too. From the Holocaust to the present day, across continents and oceans, Kobi’s journey will ultimately lead him to the truth about his family’s past - and his own identity.

The hotel’s owner, Daniel du Barry, still mourning the loss of his lover in an automobile accident, adopts the little girl, names her after his favourite champagne and seeks consolation in fatherhood. Cat du Barry grows up beloved by both hotel staff and guests, equally at home in the ninth floor premium suite as she is in the labyrinth below stairs.Years later when Daniel du Barry dies in sinister circumstances, Cat determines to solve the mystery with the assistance of her extended hotel family.

Coming in February 2017:

Sasha Torte London born Australian Lesley Truffle has travelled extensively and worked in London and Japan. At present she’s living in a garret in Melbourne. She’s worked as a secondary teacher, photographer, hotel maid, fringe actor and in art galleries, bars, nightclubs and other jobs too ghastly to mention.

It doesn’t matter that you’re ugly and have a small d!#k, you’ll still have women throwing themselves at you! Won’t you! This is how ‘Diary of an Uber Driver’ opens - in fact how our OriginalUberDriver’s first ride went - and it’s a good indication of what follows in this hilarious and poignant account of driving Sydneysiders to and from locations wild and famous. Uber drivers get an intimate glimpse into people’s lives - from their morning routines to their despair after being ditched at the pub (see ugly dick comments). They act as sounding boards, take the rap for loud music, see people get lucky and unlucky, and observe extraordinary characters. They tolerate the worst and appreciate the best of in a city where someone is always coming or going. And when people ask our Driver why doesn’t he get a real job, he just thinks of the fantastic lives that enter his car, and says, “No thanks.” TheOriginalUberDriver began his blog in 2014 after appreciating what a cast of characters he met in his daily driving for Uber in Sydney. The blog has been featured in the Daily Telegraph, the Courier Mail, the Herald Sun, the Adelaide Advertiser, Perth Now, Gold Coast Bulletin, marie claire and online lifestyle publications Pedestrian and The Urban List. In its first month the blog attracted 67,000 views and 2,500 Facebook followers.

YONI BASHAN

The Squad The officers of the Middle Eastern Organised Crime (MEOC) squad are known to be both fearsome and intimidating. They have to be, to deal with the rising violence, brutal mayhem and sheer brazen scope of the crime that they see every day. This specialist squad has dealt with some of Sydney’s most highprofile criminal cases, including most recently the Brothers for Life gangland violence of 2012-2014, the outlaw motorcycle gang wars of 2008-2009, and the shooting of Kings Cross identity Fadi Ibrahim in 2009. Such is the squad’s notoriety, in fact, that some criminals have tattooed its acronym (MEOC) on their body, to taunt the police. Written by an award-winning crime reporter, the book takes readers deep inside the squad’s operations, its successes and failures, its frustrations and victories, and the adrenalin-fuelled excitement of operations, drug busts and arrests.

He lives in north west Sydney - when he isn’t travelling the world training dogs.

GENERAL NON-FICTION

A hilarious listicle of Australian bizarro by the editor of Australian BuzzFeed.

Cosentino has emerged seemingly out of nowhere to become Australia’s premier illusionist and escapologist, with an act as distinct and as wild as his Johnny Depp-meets-Al Capone look. This book will be a mix of inspirational autobiography, a history of magic, and a how-to (do magic) book. It will include interactive magic tricks, instructions and step-by-steps, it will reveal the tricks of the trade and go behind the scenes. Plus, he will not only discuss his favourite magicians and their tricks both past and present, but will also detail some of his most famous stunts: the vision, the execution and exactly what was going through his head as they happened. Cosentino has been called ‘a supercharged showman’ by the Herald Sun, a ‘daredevil performer’ by National Nine News and is said to ‘mirror the legendary Harry Houdini’ by the LA Times. He fuses traditional sleight-of-hand magic, grand illusions and physical demonstrations into novel and original presentations.

Miniscule jellyfish whose sting causes cardiovascular collapse and death within minutes... Gigantic flightless birds that look and behave like velociraptors after a big night...

Everyone knows Australia is the maddest, baddest, crazyiest country on earth, a terra insanius of deadly flora and fauna, psychotic weather - and some hardy human inhabitants clearly still in denial. Featuring stories that will make you laugh out loud and freaky photographs that will blow your mind, 88 Reasons Why Australia Is the Craziest presents the definitive case for: a) never visiting Australia or; b) if you’re already here, never leaving the safety of your own home.

His many accolades include: runner-up on Australia’s Got Talent in 2011, winner of Dancing With The Stars in 2013, a three-times Australian Award Winning magician, a Guinness World Record holder, a nominee for the prestigious Helpmann Awards and a Multi Award Winner of the Merlin by the International Magicians’ Society.

Simon Crerar is the founding editor of BuzzFeed Australia. Born and bred in the safety of Scotland (where there are no such things as Common Death Adders) he fell in love with Australia from the moment he woke at 33,000 ft on a 747 somewhere over the Northern Territory and saw the outback glowing blood red under his first southern hemisphere sunrise.

Ian Griffin

In 2014, Richard Fidler and his son Joe made a journey to Istanbul. Fired by Richard’s passion for the rich history of the dazzling Byzantine Empire centred around the legendary Consantinople - we are swept into some of the most extraordinary tales in history. The clash of civilizations, the fall of empires, the rise of Christianity, revenge, lust, murder. Turbulent stories from the past are brought vividly to life at the same time as a father navigates the unfolding changes in his relationship with his son. Ghost Empire is a revelation: a beautifully written ode to a lost civilization, and a warmly observed father-son adventure far from home. Richard Fidler presents CONVERSATIONS WITH RICHARD FIDLER, an in-depth, up close and personal interview program broadcast across Australia on ABC Radio. He’s interviewed prime ministers, astronauts, writers and scientists, but the program often features remarkable people who are unknown to the wider world.

GENERAL NON-FICTION

A visually ravishing, scientifically fascinating celebration of the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights, as viewed from one the world’s great vantage points, the south of New Zealand.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are famous, but the equally beautiful southern version is less well known and celebrated. Scientist, amateur astronomer and excellent photographer Ian Griffin aims to inspire readers with great pictures, great science and beautiful writing. A gorgeous book by a highly motivated author. Ian Griffin writes: “From my perspective the more people who get excited about seeing the aurora from here, the better. There are also some gorgeous places from where to see it (especially on the Otago Peninsula where I now live). “Essentially the auroras come down to the phenomenon of solar flares, which interact with the Earth’s atmosphere, creating visual effects observable by the naked eye. Time lapse photography allows us to capture this in all its glory against the backdrop of the Milky Way and vastness of space – a sense of the infinite, in other words.”

The program is the most popular podcast in Australia, with over a million downloaded programs every month. In another life Richard was a member of Australian comedy trio The Doug Anthony Allstars (DAAS), which played to audiences all over the world. This is his first book.

Ian Griffin is the director of the Otago Museum, chief executive of the Oxford Trust (science foundation in the UK), former director of the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, former head of the NASA Origins Education Forum Space Telescope Science Institute, and a PhD in stellar physics. He has personally discovered 27 asteroids! He writes an astronomy column in the ODT, is a Fellow of the royal Astronomical Society and Member of the International Astronomical Union. Married with three children he now lives near Dunedin.

A Boy of China

Imaginarium of Love and Hope

‘A son is very important in Chinese society,’ he had said. ‘To lose one is careless. The ancestors would be angry.’ Intrigued by stories of a son given away by Mao and his then-wife during the Long March, and mystified by the ‘official’ explanation of the boy’s fate (Whereabouts unknown - No further information available), Richard Loseby sets out alone across China in search of answers. Tracing Mao’s own revolutionary journey, the author encounters the extraordinary realities of a new revolution, one that is transforming an ancient culture into a modern economic powerhouse. At the heart of the journey is the hunt for an elusive truth about a brutal and traumatic time in the nation’s still raw history. Who was that abandoned boy? Might he still be alive? Would he even want to be found? The result is an amazing traveller’s tale – revealing, poignant, funny, sad and unexpected at every turn. A Boy of China takes the reader on an unforgettable journey that is at once intimate and epic.

Jimmy Barnes

Working Class Boy A household name, an Australian rock icon - there isn’t an accolade or cliche that doesn’t apply to Jimmy Barnes. But long before Cold Chisel and Barnsey, long before the tall-tales of success and excess, there was the true story of James Dixon Swan - a working class boy whose family made the journey from Scotland to Australia in search of a better life. Raw, gritty, compassionate, surprising and darkly funny - Jimmy Barnes’s childhood memoir is at once the story of migrant dreams fulfilled and dashed. Arriving in Australia in the Summer of 1962, things went from bad to worse for the Swan family - Dot, Jim and their six kids. The scramble to manage in the tough northern suburbs of Adelaide in the 60s would take its toll on the Swans as dwindling money, too much alcohol, and fraying tempers gave way to violence and despair. Working Class Boy is a powerful reflection on a traumatic and violent childhood, which fuelled the recklessness that would define, and almost destroy, the rock’n’roll legend. This is the story of how James Swan became Jimmy Barnes. Jimmy Barnes is a Scottish-born Australian rock singer-songwriter. His career both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel has made him one of the best-selling Australian music artists of all time. The combination of 14 Australian Top 40 albums for Cold Chisel and 13 charting solo albums, including nine No.1s, gives Barnes the highest number of hit albums of any Australian artist.

The unforgettable, hilarious, heartwarming and hair-raising adventures of two country vets, the animals they treat and the characters they meet.

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Writing this book has caused me a lot of pain. Sometimes because of what I remembered about my childhood and sometimes because of what I couldn’t remember. It’s funny how your mind blocks things out. There are a lot of things I wish I didn’t remember...

Anthony Bennett & James Carroll

Village Vets Best mates since they met at uni, Anthony Bennett and James Carroll both dreamed of working with animals from the time they were knee high. Little did these down-to-earth country vets know their dreams would find them unlikely TV stars, their larrikinism and genuine affection for the people they meet and the animals they treat winning the hearts of Australians everywhere. Village Vets takes us back to their early years, from their hilarious escapades at university, to their adventures in the Australian bush, to setting up their own practice in an idyllic coastal town in New South Wales. Anthony and James have done it all - operated on guinea pigs and euthanased fish; treated a horse that had lost its foot and fixed a prolapsed cow with a piece of polypipe. And then there was the day that involved four calvings, one severed artery, one fox-bait poisoning, one skewered kelpie, one snakebite and 480 kilometres of driving... Village Vets will charm you, make you laugh out loud and bring a tear to your eye.

Coming in October 2017:

Village Vets Book Two Best mates and business partners, Anthony and James run three vet practices on the NSW South Coast. Stars of the observational documentary VILLAGE VETS AUSTRALIA, their days are spent managing dairy cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, alpaca and horses, as well as the myriad small animals that visit the clinic every day. They share an amazing camaraderie, born from their student days and enhanced by the experiences they have shared, the animals they have treated, the business they have built, and the community they are an integral and proud part of.

The story of Bully Hayes - so-called “Pirate of the Pacific” - is known throughout the Pacific, from the US to Australia and all points in between. He became the inspiration for a variety of fictional characters, writers from Robert Louis Stevenson to James A Michener and Frank Clune have used the Hayes legend, films were made based on his life (one starring Boris Karloff, another Douglas Fairbanks), and his name adorns bars and hotels far and wide. But the truth is both less noble and more intriguing than the myth. In large part, the Hayes of legend was a product of the popular press at the time, who were determined to construct a romantic figure to feed their readers’ appetites. This book simultaneously sorts the facts from the fantasy and recounts an amazing true story of a genuine rogue and adventurer, against the backdrop of the great age of sail and trade. This is the first proper biography of this legendary figure, and the only book that sets out to properly separate the myth from the truth. Joan Druett writes fiction and non-fiction and is the author of over 20 titles. She has an international reputation in the field of nautical history, and has a particular following in North America. Her books are often based on the lives of women, particularly those who were connected with whaling and life at sea. She won the 2012 NZ Post best general non-fiction book award for Tupaia: The Remarkable Story of Captain Cook’s Navigator.

Joan Druett

Three distinct stories about three distinct men, with one thing in common – they all paid the price for standing up for what they believed.

From a great writer, three great stories about conscience and consequence. This is the story of three men - a doctor, a soldier and a judge. They are men of rare achievement. The doctor has the gift of saving others but not himself. The soldier disobeys orders and abandons his command post in a bid to die with his men. The judge cares more to uphold a principle than save himself from ruin. All three defy convention in a way that exacts a price.

Sir James McNeish is one of New Zealand’s greatest living writers. He has published nine novels, 14 works of non-fiction, four plays and numerous articles and essays. Several of his books are classics - Lovelock, Dance of the Peacocks - and his psychological investigation of the Bain murders (The Mask of Sanity, 1997) was one of the major books on the topic. He has been awarded all major NZ writing prizes and fellowships, and was made a Knight Companion in 2010 for services to literature.

The extraordinary life and times of one of Australia’s leading combat photographers

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY

An inspiring story of one woman’s journey through heartbreaking loss to renewal and new purpose.

In 2008, inspirational surgeon Chris O’Brien published his bestselling memoir of his battle with brain cancer, Never Say Die. Since Chris passed away in 2009, his wife Gail has gone on a journey of her own: from a busy surgeon’s wife and mother of a picture-perfect family to a widow in her mid-50s, grieving not only her husband but also her son Adam, who died as a result of epilepsy a short time after Chris’s death. In the midst of her grief, Gail discovered resolve and strength deep within herself. When Chris was alive, Gail was the woman behind the great man. But after his death, she stepped forward to make her own mark on the world. While coming to terms with both a public and private loss, Gail took on Chris’s legacy as steward of the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse Cancer Centre, navigating the often bruising politics of boards and committees to ensure his vision was realised. She also went back to work as a physio after being out of the workforce for 20 years, while holding her shattered family together. She reinvented herself and found that she could survive and even thrive in a world without her soul mate. A moving, inspiring, deeply poignant and often joyous story of family, love and loss - and ultimately, about finding your purpose in the world.

The Shot

Gail O’ Brien, Chris’s wife of many years, is a physiotherapist and the steward of the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse. She is a renowned public speaker and works for many charities. Juliette O’ Brien is a law graduate, journalist, digital producer and first-time author. She gave the widely praised and moving eulogy at her father Chris O’Brien’s funeral.

After five years as an infantry soldier, Gary Ramage trained as a military photographer and he is now the News Limited Group’s chief photographer at the National Press Gallery in Parliament House in Canberra. Ramage won the prestigious Nikon Walkley Award in 2012 for his images of the war in Afghanistan.

As Australia’s premier war photographer - and as a former soldier - Gary Ramage has been in and out of just about every conflict zone that Australia has ever been involved in. He’s been embedded with troops, lived, eaten and slept alongside them. When fire fights happen, he’s been there. When rockets fall, he’s been there. When the medic on a chopper screams at him to put his camera down and help him to CPR on a wounded soldier, he’s done that. From photographing mass graves in Kosovo, to being in East Timor when SAS troops were ambushed, to sleeping under the stars on patrol with Aussie soldiers in Afghanistan, he’s been there. It takes special grit to be a war photographer - it’s an extreme and dangerous job. At least 25 journalists and photojournalists have been killed in Afghanistan alone since 2001. Journalists, cameramen, photographers - they’ve all been captured, tortured and executed. Risk comes with the territory. This is a high adrenalin, sometimes moving, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, entirely gripping story of a man who’s living an extraordinary life, documenting some of the most confronting and moving moments in international conflicts and our recent history. Here is the story behind the pictures.

The inside story of New Zealand’s iconic independent record label by the man who made it happen.

Allan Scott

In Love With These Times

Marlborough Man

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY

The true story of the rise of Marlborough and NZ Sauvignon Blanc, told by one of its pioneers, winemaker Allan Scott. A personal and professional memoir.

Roger Shepherd

‘I wanted to be more than just an observer. I wanted to be a part of what was going on. I had told someone and the word was out, and now I had to actually do this thing. Start a record label. Roger Shepherd was working in a Christchurch record shop when he realised the local bands he loved needed someone to make their records. Flying Nun was born. Those records and the bands that created them – The Chills, The Clean, Chris Knox and the Tall Dwarfs, The Verlaines, Sneaky Feelings, The Bats, Straitjacket Fits and many more – went on to define an era and create what became known as “the Dunedin Sound”. In truth it was less a unified sound than a spirit of adventure and independence that characterised the Flying Nun ethos. In this long-awaited memoir, label founder Roger Shepherd describes the idealism and passion that drove the project in the first place, the hard realities of the music industry, and the constant tension between art and commerce. Filled with revealing anecdote and insight, this is the definitive insider history of the one of the most innovative and original record labels of the modern era.

Allan Scott is a key figure in the development of the Marlborough and NZ wine industries, in particular the sauvignon blanc New World wine revolution. His winery ‘consistently produces amongst the best Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough’.

Roger Shepherd is the founder of Flying Nun Records, which he owned and managed throughout the 1980s and 90s, and with which he is still associated. He helped discover and nurture the careers of many of the country’s best known alternative bands, including the Clean, the Chills, the Tall Dwarfs and the Headless Chickens. He lives in Wellington with his wife and children.

The remarkable story of Marlborough wine, from the planting of the first vines to the global success of New Zealand’s billion-dollar sauvignon blanc industry, is also the very personal story of winemaker Allan Scott. As a young farm hand he helped plant the first vines, going on to help Montana and Corbans establish their sauvignon vineyards, and and then to found his own hugely successful family winery. He knows the real stories, the mistakes and the triumphs, the heroes and villains, and how an unlikely region of New Zealand’s South Island became a varietal powerhouse and major export industry. A lot of how it happened came down to luck, along with perserverence and bloody-mindedness, and some extraordinary ingenuity that revolutionised winemaking. Setting the record straight, as well as telling a personal saga of risking it all and keeping a family together, Allan recounts his story with great humour and humility. With a rich photographic archive and new photography from award winning photographer Patrick Reynold, this is a fine memoir with real body and taste.

Cadel Evans

Cadel Evans Autobiography

A groundbreaking history of the first, horrific day of one of the most notorious, bloody offensives of all time, from its inept planning to its disastrous execution.

HISTORY

Cadel Evans is Australia’s greatest ever cyclist, and one of our greatest sportsmen.

Andrew Macdonald

First Day of the Somme

From his beginnings as the youngest winner of a World Cup in mountain biking, to the oldest post-War winner of the Tour de France, Cadel Evans has spent 20 years at the top of his sport. Australia’s first, and only, Tour de France champion, he placed in the top ten in six Tours de France. In 2013 he finished third in the Giro d’Italia, becoming the first Australian to stand on the final podium at all three Grand Tours - the Tours of France, Italy and Spain. Evans’s successes are even more significant given he achieved them during cycling’s darkest era, when the sport was regularly rocked by doping scandals; famously culminating in Lance Armstrong being stripped of seven Tour de France victories. Known as a meticulous trainer and an athlete who prided himself on his ability to “put it all on the road”, Evans writes about the triumphs, the frustrations, the training, the preparation, the psychology of the sport, his contemporaries, past legends, how he maintained such amazing consistency and, always, his enduring love of cycling.

It took several million bullets and roughly half an hour to destroy General Sir Douglas Haig’s grand plans for the first day of the Somme, 1 July 1916. By day’s end 19,240 British soldiers were dead. This single sunny day remains Britain’s worst-ever military disaster, both numerically and statistically. Hundreds of German machineguns and artillery batteries had been waiting silently for the long-anticipated attack. Someone had blundered. Working back from the mass casualties on the battlefield, to the inept planning in London’s Whitehall, Macdonald penetrates the “fog of war” to explain how and why this was a human disaster waiting to happen. Told fully from both the British and German perspectives for the first time, this book holds widespread British intelligence and command failure accountable for the butchery. It further finds the outcome was very definitely a German victory, and identifies how talented German commanders mostly outclassed their opposite numbers and inflicted the galling bloodletting. Taking that terrible first day of battle as his focus, Andrew Macdonald casts new and damning light on the true causes of the disaster. This is a major contribution to World War I history and an epic story of courage, misery and endurance in its own right.

The name of Cadel Evans is one that will forever be celebrated in Australian sport. Cadel Evans is a former Australian professional racing cyclist who won the 2011 Tour de France. He is a four time Olympian and the first Australian to win the UCI ProTour and the UCI Road World Championships.

Andrew Macdonald is a New Zealand-born author and military historian living in London. He holds a PhD (University of London) in First World War military history, which he completed while working as a Reuters correspondent. He now works full time as a writer.

HISTORY

Stories of life from a remote Aboriginal community that sing with vivid and simple life, truth and power.

Robbi Neal

After Before Time At the end of 2008, Robbi Neal and her family travelled to the other end of mainland Australia to a remote Aboriginal community. They planned to stay for twelve months. Seven years later, they are still there. This moving collection of linked narratives centring around a remote Indigenous community has been inspired by real people and real events - the stories might read like fiction, but they are based on fact. The events they describe really happened. Each story is true to the person who inspired it and Robbi has been given permission to share these truths by writing them down, both by the person who influenced each story and by the Elders concerned. These stories sing with vivid and simple life, truth and power. These are stories of shame, pain and sorrow, but also joy and love - and they transform our understanding of ‘the Indigenous experience’. The narratives tell familiar stories - of dispossession, destitution, children being taken away, hopelessness and powerlessness - but it tells them in a very different, direct, simple and powerfully moving way. Robbi Neal captures in a unique and compelling way the voices and histories of these people - their warmth, humour, wisdom and often their irrepressible joy. After Before Time is profoundly fresh, powerful and moving.

A beautifully illustrated, visually lush and intriguing book about the world’s most popular and most powerful flower.

Helen O’Neill

Daffodil The daffodil is the beautiful first flower of spring, the inspiration of poets, a treasuretrove to scientists and a symbol of everything from unrequited love, rebirth, eternal life and misfortune. Over centuries, the daffodil has been so many things to so many people: it was called ‘Narcissus’ by the Greeks and prized by the Romans as guarantee of passage to the Underworld; it was used by medieval Arabs and ancient Chinese for its medicinal properties and it has inspired poets, lovers, artists and scientists down the ages. But in telling the story of the daffodil, what award-winning, best-selling writer Helen O’Neill is really telling is the story of humanity. It’s a narrative of progress from superstition and myth, taking in politics, greed, religion, science, chance, redemption and love. But, appropriately enough for a flower that is now used on a worldwide basis to raise funds for cancer research, it is, above all, a story of hope. Moving, fascinating, eloquent, and also beautiful.

Since the beginning of 2009, Robbi Neal and her family have been living in a remote Aboriginal community where she and her husband Peter manage an Arts Centre. She has been a Baptist pastor, a welfare worker, an artist whose work at the Castlemaine Fringe Festival was banned by the Catholic Church, a single mother, a retailer and freelance writer. Sunday Best, a memoir, was her first book. It was developed as part of the HarperCollins/Varuna awards program and published by HarperCollins in 2004.

Helen O’Neill is an award-winning author, whose work has been published in Australia, the US and the UK. Her books include the critically acclaimed, best-selling Florence Broadhurst: Her Secret and Extraordinary Lives, based on the life and art of the wallpaper and fabric designer Florence Broadhurst, A Singular Vision, the illustrated biography of architect Harry Seidler, and David Jones’ 175 Years.

Justin Coulson

21 Days to a Happier Family ‘Parenthood can be a jungle, but Justin’s advice and simple strategies will help you find that path back to sanity, stability and smiling kids.’ - Lisa Wilkinson Everyone wants their family to be happy, but so much gets in the way - work stress, commitments and our children’s challenging behaviour are some of the usual suspects. Less obvious obstacles are our own habits and expectations, a reactive parenting style, and even a lack of clarity about what makes a family truly happy. As a result, families often seem fragmented, stressed and out of control. Kidspot parenting expert Justin Coulson knows how to make families happier. In this book, he combines cutting-edge insights from positive psychology with classic psychological research to help parents identify and develop habits that will strengthen their family. In his trademark warm and empathic style Justin covers topics like finding the most effective parenting style for your child, getting relationships right and how that leads to effective discipline, using mindfulness in parenting, being emotionally available to your children - and so much more. Justin Coulson had a successful career as a radio broadcaster: he was hanging out with music celebs - you could say he was living the dream. Then, when he and his wife started their family, Justin realised he didn’t have a clue about how to parent. To learn how to be the kind of dad he wanted to be, Justin gave up radio for further ed, studying psychology and eventually earning a PhD. As well as his gig as parenting expert on the Kidspot website and in the Daily Telegraph, Justin gives talks to parents, teachers and professionals across Australia. He now has six kids and lives with his family in Wollongong, NSW. Manuscript Available February 2016 | 288pp | 234x153 mm | Paperback | ISBN 9780733334818
