Book excerpt: In a charming sequel to Adventures with Waffles, Trille and Lena navigate the rough waters of friendship when a new soccer coach and a new girl in school disrupt their seaside escapades. Trille and Lena may be getting older, but they still find everyday adventure—and trouble—in their coastal village, including sinking every raft they build, getting little sisters stuck up flag poles, and attending those dreaded music lessons. But that’s not all. The arrival of a less-than-encouraging new soccer coach is putting twelve-year-old Lena's goalkeeping career in doubt. And Trille is wondering how to impress the girl who has just joined his class. As the best friends battle the elements and their own emotions, one thing is for sure: they're not giving up, not if Lena has anything to do with it! In Maria Parr’s follow-up to Adventures with Waffles, the acclaimed author returns to Mathildewick Cove with a rib-tickling story of growing up.

Book excerpt: "My dear," said the gypsy queen gazing at Lena's palm, "I see many troubles in the past. I see powerful upheavals. I see death. Terrible scenes of death." By now Lena was trembling in fear. Was her own death written in her palm? The queen continued. "Wait! There is something else! Yes, I see a rainbow. The rainbow stretches over a great body of water. You are sliding down the rainbow into the - - - I cannot continue." "Please," said Lena. "Tell me what you see!" "I cannot see through the water. It is too deep. Too murky. Beware!" In 1895, a sixteen year old Polish girl escapes a wretched life in Poland to care for a rich, aging uncle in Romania, only to be sabotaged by her seemingly worthless cousin. Facing the gallows, her only hope is to escape to America where the horrors of the past can be erased. Or can they? The story of Lena will tear at your heart strings until the last page of the book. Lena is unforgettable.

Book excerpt: Documentary filmmaker Mo Patterson approaches veteran musician Lena Gaunt after watching her play at a festival in Perth: her first performance in 20 years. While initially suspicious of Mo’s intentions and reluctant to have her privacy invaded, Lena finds herself sharing stories from her past. From a solitary childhood in Malacca and a Perth boarding school, to a glittering career in Jazz-age Sydney, to quiet domesticity in a New-Zealand backwater, Lena’s is a life characterized by the pull of the sea, the ebb and flow of passion and loss, and her enduring relationship with that extraordinary instrument, the theremin.

Book excerpt: **SHORTLISTED FOR THE SCOTT MONCRIEFF PRIZE 2019** **NOMINATED FOR THE MÉDICIS PRIZE 2018** 'A tale of travel and adventure, the story of a body utterly surrendered to pain and joy. It is mind-blowing, a delight.' Le Monde Lili is a runaway. She’s left behind her native France to go in search of freedom, of adventure, of life. Her search takes her to Kodiak, Alaska, home to a ragtag community of fishermen, army vets and drifters who man the island’s fishing fleet. Despite her tiny frame, faltering English and lack of experience, Lili lands a job on board the Rebel, the only woman on the boat. Out on the open sea, everything is heightened: colours are more vivid, sounds are louder and the work is harder than anything she's ever known. The terrifying intensity of the ocean is addictive to the point of danger. But Lili is not alone: in her fellow crewmembers she finds kindred spirits – men living on the edge, drawn to extremes. Based on Catherine Poulain’s own experiences, and written in taut, muscular prose, Woman at Sea cuts through the noise of life and straight to the heart of our innermost longings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dive into this completed dark fantasy romance duology and enter a world filled with bloodthirsty syrens, vigilante pirates, and a darkness threatening the seas that both call home. The Seas of Caladhan have never been safe for a woman… The warning had never rang more true for Brigid, who, as a fifteen year old stowaway, was tossed into the sea by the ruthless sailors she’d sought passage from. Left to die at the hands of the sea, no one expected the sea to show her mercy instead. Transformed into a syren at the hands of the ocean’s goddess, Brigid joins the band of bloodthirsty women intent on making themselves be the things in the ocean that sailors feared. Caelum has spent his entire life spurning the reputation his father had built. After years suffering the cruelty of the pirate captain, saving others from a similar fate was ingrained in him. For every evil deed his father carries out, Caelum is there, following him in an ever raging attempt to stop him. When Caelum is thrown into the seas by unforeseen forces, he comes face to face with a girl from his past. One he’d thought long dead by his father’s own hands. Shocked to see a familiar face among the wreckage of their latest target, Brigid makes a split second decision to save Caelum rather than let the syrens drown him. Her actions don’t go unnoticed though, and she’s forced to make an impossible choice: leave behind the syrens and the home she’d built for herself, or prove her loyalty and kill the only man who’d ever shown her kindness. But there’s a darkness lurking on the seas Brigid and Caelum both call home, and the consequences of their choices will catch up to them sooner than anyone realizes. And they have no idea how intertwined their stories truly are. This eBook boxset includes: - The Syren's Mutiny (book 1) - The Captain's Revenge (book 2) - The Ocean's Mercy (prequel novella) - 3 bonus scenes

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The price for vengeance must always be paid… No matter what. Caelum may have stopped his father, but in the process, he lost more than he’d ever planned. The syren who had slowly been winning his heart over was gone, taken by the very woman she once owed her life to, and Caelum was now wanted for his father’s murder. In the chaos of the aftermath, Caelum must deal with his grief, and with the other syrens, who only seem determined to make his life more difficult as he searches for Brigid. Brigid is in agony. As if watching her best friend die in front of her wasn’t enough, she’d been ripped beneath the waves and brought to pay penance to the goddess she’d once sworn fealty to. But the syren queen seems determined to never cease her torture, not until Brigid has paid for her sins in blood. Resigning herself that she will never see the man she’d given up everything for, Brigid retreats into herself. The only way to endure the wrath of the syren queen is to shut down and silently hope that someone would come for her. But Brigid knows better than to hope. And her body is quickly giving out. When whispers of a mysterious witch with the ability to grant any wish reach Caelum, he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get Brigid back, including giving up that which he holds most dear. And so, the syrens and the crew set off on the dangerous journey to the south to find anything that will lead them to Brigid. But nothing worth having ever comes easy, and neither Caelum or Brigid have ever backed down from a challenge. The Captain’s Revenge is the thrilling conclusion to the slow-burn new adult fantasy romance duology, pulling you beneath the waves and into a Celtic mythology inspired world of do-good pirates, cunning syrens, and action-packed adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
