| ECHOES OF INNOCENCE
As it passed over, that emblem of evil, the swastika emblazoned on the tail-fin, became etched in my mind forever...
Mum came running up the road from the shops.
“Get inside at once!” she called, herding us in through the front door.
Gradually, an uneasy peace returned as the bombers droned back out to sea, one of their own having made the ultimate sacrifice in an attempt to save his crew. It was after this air raid that my parents decided to send my sister, brother and me to the comparative safety of a farm in Hampshire during the school holidays.
It was not so much for the safety of our lives as it was for the shielding of our Childhood…

| EYES TO THE SKY
“A perception of war through children’s eyes, viewed as something of an exciting yet scary game with a Hollywood ending – unlike any account of the War you’ve read before.” – Acashic Coverage #1679
The Battle of Britain.
The Blitz of Portsmouth.
The Nazi troop build-up in readiness for the Invasion of Europe.
The dire shortages and rationing – while, over head, air battles raged.
And through it all, there was school to be attended – mostly pressed up inside the school air-raid shelter. For three years!
The trauma of returning to find one’s home wrecked. The comical reactions of pets to the whistling bombs, the inevitable clashes with Wilson the local bobby as we scrumped fruit from an orchard to supplement our meager rations…
And when The Invasion happened, we asked if there was ever going to be a Victory celebration?

| FIRST LOVE BY PRESCRIPTION
Love stories are tricky. This one more so than others. It involves the sensibilities of adults, but at times you/d think kids were involved. What is it about love that sends us reeling, that makes us forget common sense and makes us throw responsibility to the wind? Is it purely a primitive mating instinct that overrides all other circuitry or is it our PRE-LIFE INSTRUCTION PANEL kicking in wildly to ALERT US to our life partner – our soulmate? However, what happens when there seems to be TWO LOVES OF OUR LIVES? Is there a prescription for deciphering between the confusing signals? Is there a remedy for quick decision making? Is there a way to stop ourselves from falling into the trap of making the wrong decision and forever live with the consequences? What is it with us that we will refuse THE PARTNER OF OUR INNERMOST DESIRES and PICK THE ONE SAFEST AND MOST SECURE, when we know so well that TRUE LOVE will only come from making the RISKIEST DECISION OF OUR LIVES?
“Mel Phillips captures the FRENETIC EMOTIONS AND HARMONES of FIRST LOVE like no other writer before her. She also provides the PRESCRIPTION that will make for a 100% PROOF DECISION MAKING SYSTEM women the world over have been waiting for.” Industry Coverage #6514

| FROM BULLCATCHER TO DRILLER
Life begins when you join the oil field.
But there was life before that...
JC has just about done everything in the name of adventure: Getting pulled over by the cops — and asked to leave town —several times!
Cornering unhappy bulls in Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia, recruited as a roughneck with no offshore experience, hired as a general dog’s body on his first drilling rig off the Indian Ocean catching light-lovin’ turtles, drilling RC Way in the Great Sandy Desert where the flies are so thick personnel are asked not to use the toilet before meal times, for fear the flies will next land on your food, drinking bouts with rig pigs while Cyclone evaluations clock up time over Darwin and even encounters with giant Singapore rats, so large that dogs have had to be brought in.
From mess-ups because of drink-ups to punch-ups because of pub-brawls, JC is proud to confirm that despite massive containers sliding around the deck of a platform at night, and a container hanging off the sides of a rig, never a day was lost drilling…
“Now boasting massive experience on jack ups and semis, the only thing JC has left to do is man a drillship. Welcome to JC’s High Octane world of HEAVY FUEL!”
– Industry Coverage #821
Includes an 8-page colour booklet of international adventures with dangerous toys and animals!

| Nothing could have prepared him for what happened next!
Never in 35 years of mining experience would Bob Watchorn have been ready for what was to happen next. Throughout his many years working in the underground mines, Bob Bingley Watchorn was enjoying going about his business, until something so impactful changed his life that he had to begin to think and live from a whole new perspective.
Now, with a world of experience under his belt, and travels across half the world, you’re invited on a journey filled with more golliwogs and ginger beers than you’d care to meet in a big mine canteen, not to mention some of the hair-raising, death-defying escapes of a man intent to try and live a normal family life in the outback and be home before dinner for scones and tea.
All beautifully preserved in a diary and pen and ink sketches from an era where there was no taboos on drugs, no WORKSAFE when leaping across shafts and no politically correct terminology.
Welcome to the nethermost “down under” Down Under.
It’s only once you’ve read Bob’s adventures that you’ll understand why this man can get shafted and still come up with a respectable sense of humour in the morning.
This is the unexaggerated real-life story and adventures of a geologist Jones.

| MAN? I'M NOT A MAN!
Have you ever thought what it must be like to become a woman?
Especially if you’re a man first?
For Kevin, this was something that he had to absolutely do…
The thought of becoming a woman consumed every fibre of his being…
Drove him relentlessly forward, until he finally took the plunge.
As Michelle today says, ‘One day Kevin and I had an argument, and I haven’t seen him since…’
Through all of this, Michelle had to face pain, insults and discrimination, misunderstandings, and an endless set of horrors, until she was finally accepted by her family and friends as the woman she is.
I AM NOT A MAN is the extraordinary and touching story of a man who was determined (at all costs) to become the woman that existed inside.
Stand by to be astounded, fascinated, and ultimately won over.
‘I AM NOT A MAN is undoubtedly this year’s best read. With a running commentary that is as honest as it is brutal in delivering the answers to the top of mind thought you just had.

| STORM IN A GLASS
Tempest Lad was a winner, a loser and a winner again. Peter Hyde was a winner, a loser and a winner again.
Storm in a Glass is a real life story picturing a life of twos: Peter Hyde and his horse Tempest Lad.
Peter grew up in an alcohol-infused home, with a father who believed a real man was one who drank.
No one could be shocked that Peter found himself to be an alcoholic later in life.
Peter was in the fog.
When Peter realized there was no hope in ever owning a sober life, he challenged himself to build up a $100 broken down horse.
Once upon a time Tempest Lad had been an old champion.
What he saw was himself in the horse’s eyes and a cry for help to be saved. He understood he couldn’t help himself, but he would at least try to help this animal.
What he was met with was a Herculean task - one that would forever change his life.
This inspirational story brings a new hope to anyone who has ever been on the verge of giving up, and to those who just want a fresh motivation to take on new challenges. |

| ‘Last century, two convicts attacked an old settler not far from here — for his treasure. They thought he had some buried, from the wreck in the Deadwater’
‘The police dragged the Deadwater for the body of the old fellow but they never found him. They found another body though, snagged on a “ship’s boat”. That sounded like the lost longboat to me. No-one ever salvaged it.’
Gen was fascinated, ‘This might help with my research, Gran. Dad gave me an assignment to do on the holidays. It has to be about some historical aspect of the area.’
Gen wrote as much as she could remember about Harold’s cannon, the giant rudder and figurehead. Then she wrote about Aboriginal burials, the murder of the old man for his treasure and the longboat. Today the old ones had all talked about . . .
the wreck in the Deadwater.
‘I want to know more. We’ve got all the holidays. We could make a systematic search,’ Gen spoke to Jim.
Chrissie, Jim, Gen and Chatter stood in awe of the vast sparkling ocean. The clean, white beach curved into the mists in both directions.
Untold mystery, adventure and treasure right beneath their feet. Neither one of them could hardly wait to begin. |

| “THE NIGHT I WENT OUT WITH TRACY
SHE BLEW MY BRAINS OUT!”
The Night I Went Out With Tracy offers
every reader the best seat to an action filled adventure.
35 years ago Cyclone Tracy showed the ruthless power of nature when it
lunged through the sea and land of Darwin, Australia, causing a devastating number of deaths and destruction.
In 1974 Robert Hedditch, Northern Territory fisherman and author of the book, was a witness to the scene from his own wheelhouse trying to keep himself
and his crew alive.
“I did battle with the strongest winds ever recorded on the planet earth, and lived to tell the tale,” is Mr Hedditch's claim.
The book does not just tell a story about a fisherman, but also about Bobby Magic, famous for being the youngest skipper who caught the most prawns in one season.
He is a rebel, a fisherman, a trawler man. The book is for everyone who seeks a thrilling and entertaining read.
Bob’s book is dedicated to all seafarers who struggle every day to earn
a living against obstacles far in excess of the average person’s daily
challenges.
A true story of a man who survived the 1974 Cyclone Tracy experience. |

| 1941 is a turbulent time for Australia.
Japanese samurai sword-wielding killer-squads have installed an outpost on the other side of Goodenough Island, awaiting orders from their Imperial Commander, Commander Tsukioka, to strike the mainland at a moment’s notice.
A young aircraft parts assembler, and fresh enlistee, Victor Trafford, is immediately transported overnight to Papua New Guinea on a very secret mission with the strictest orders to keep enemy forces out of strategic zones in the Pacific. Little does he imagine how events and energies will spring up traps around him, involving evil ancient artifacts and a higher order religious belief system that could very well save mankind from total destruction.
