Women Who Burn is a poetry anthology written with the strong and passionate voice of Beth Sutherland. It explores with heartfelt conviction the trials and tribulations that women face in the search for love, examining the many contradictions and dichotomies that exist in this sphere too. Nothing is ever simple, the decisions that occur when it comes to love are never black and white. Sutherland writes articulately about how it is easy to both feel utterly betrayed whilst also never wanting that person to leave one's side - an experience that many readers, and not only female readers despite the perspective of the author, will be able to relate to. In this collection of poems Sutherland reaches out a reassuring hand by speaking with a frankness and honesty that is certain to connect with many hearts that read her words.

In the early 1960's while studying at the University of Liverpool, Deven Samy, a young man of Indian origin from the Island of Mauritius, fell in love with Paula McMaster, a fellow student from a poor neighbourhood of Liverpool, at a time when such relationships were rare and frowned upon. The book highlights their lives, studies, and love affair against the backdrop of increasing racial tensions in the UK, around the time of the Beatles' arrival on the music scene. Their search for a home in a society where they would feel welcome took them from the UK to the USA and finally to Canada where they would set roots in Montreal and eventually on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Despite remarkable progress in this area, has racism been largely overcome in Liverpool and London to make the couple rue their decision to leave behind friends and family? You be the judge! The book is based on Deven telling his life story to his grandchildren each evening while holidaying in the BC resort of Ucluelet. While their parents went on a week-long kayaking trip to the Broken Group Islands, the children hiked different trails in the Pacific Rim National Park during the day and in the evening listened to Deven's story. Raindrops in the Ocean is mostly autobiographical, based on the author's experience in Mauritius, Liverpool, London, Indiana, Montreal, and Vancouver Island. Some fictional segments were added to broaden the book's potential appeal to millennials.

Thanks to a mutating virus that all but wiped out humanity, life is short and brutal out on the Platform.The dilithium crystals that power your respirator are the very same thing that will kill you when their runtime is up. Unless you can survive your Interval and be among the chosen few lucky enough to travel on to the paradise known as Tranquility Base.That's not a choice for Kitteridge, though; he's just witnessed the brutal murder of his wife and the kidnapping of his newborn child by the drones of the Collective.

French Letters is based on the letters and records of an Australian francophile who has spent most of his leisure time, and a good deal of his working life, in France and the French-speaking world. The reminiscences range over Paris, of course, Bordeaux and Lyon with their rich historic and gastronomic treasures; regional corners such as Grignan, in Provence, with its elegant literary connections, and the curiously-named Condom (in Gascony) with its links to the "Three Musketeers", and then Marseille with its maritime links to the French colonial world and to Outremer, to far-away French-influenced places such as Egypt, Indochina, Madagascar, New Caledonia, Quebec, Reunion Island and Tahiti. This is a light-hearted and yet thoughtful view of a wide and often little-known world, presented here in an easily accessible form for dreamers, adventurers, and armchair travellers.
