Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this riveting new novel, the Australian Minister of Defence goes missing when her helicopter crashes in the Australian Outback. Meanwhile, the perpetrators of a terrorist attack on Surfers Paradise, Australia?s beach playground, have survived their attack and are being illegally detained nearby at an outback base for interrogation. Foreign agents arrive in the area and attempt to free the terrorists. Will the minister become a hostage for their release? Security forces believe the answer might come from Saxony Knight, a citizen infiltrator of the Paradise attack, but she?s disappeared from surveillance. An attack on the base sets off a manhunt across the outback, but who are they hunting and why? The only connection appears to be Saxony Knight. Outback for Novices: A Saxony Knight Thriller is the sequel to Paradise for Beginners. A review of the first book by Julie Thompson reads: ?From the tongue-in-cheek title to the expertly constructed plot, there is nothing of a beginner about this book, a first for the author. It is a gripping ride, swim, climb, run, and dive through a complex story of Middle Eastern family revenge, espionage, surveillance, and flawed processes and people, played out on one of the world?s most glamorous yet seedy playgrounds. The narrative is time lapsing, intricately detailed, and written in mostly dialogue, which demands careful and concentrated attention. It begins with the beautiful but damaged Saxony Knight, who boards a luxury cruiser on the Tweed River and is taken hostage by two young Middle Eastern brothers. Australian National Security have placed Saxony there to foil the plot, but can she? It?s a frightening, plausible tale.?

Book excerpt: This is a story of our adventures in 'Out-back' Australia. We have oftentold small parts to different friends and many times it was suggestedthat our experiences should be put in book form.I have tried to be as accurate as possible when I am talking about traditionbut, as the title suggests, I am a novice and all the things I have learnt havebeen through personal experience.Events that have happened to us have sometimes been a real eye opener butthey are true situations. I have related them because it is truly what happenson communities. To counteract the violent times, I hope that I have been ableto balance it with all the wonderful things that have also happened.All these events have taken place over the past nine years. Thingsunfortunately have not improved during this time and in some cases havebecome worse. But I hope that you will read this book with an open mind,and not be too critical of events described in it.I hope that you enjoy the photos. Over the years we have taken hundredsof photos. In the past we have had a photo exhibition in South Australia.Some of the photos I have taken and others taken by Bill. To us, they holdgreat memories and hope that for you, they will give an insight into thewonders of the outback of Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My name now is Max Fine. My parents named me Maxwell so for many years I was known as Maxwell Feinstein. Whilst sitting on my balcony, observing the sun slip away slowly below the horizon, I ruminate about my past life and how much longer I have in this world. I was born in South Africa to German Jewish parents after the family escaped from Germany in 1936. I am writing this book as my ultimate legacy. I am dying from a severe case of congenital heart disease for which there is no cure. Only a heart transplant can save me. At my age? I have my thoughts and memories. Both are fully functional but may be somewhat fanciful. The story is about my family and me. I retell some events that happened (or at least that I believe happened) over several generations. Naturally, I was not present at every event so, to that extent, these are either hearsay or my interpretational memories. I make no apology for spending time on my gap year before attending university since it was one of my most enjoyable times, if not the best. I was a naïve 17-year-old, seeing the world for the first time. In those few months, I became a man.

Book excerpt: The inspiring story of a feisty pioneering woman who sought freedom and adventure in the outback and became the first woman to work as an opal miner in Australia. People always asked her if she was ever afraid, living out in the desert alone with all those rough and scruffy men. But Minnie Berrington was not the faint-hearted type, and never had been. Being tough came naturally to her, growing up with three brothers and a family that went from riches to ruins. Only a slip of a girl, Minnie could match any man in stamina, perseverance and strength. She arrived in Coober Pedy when camels still brought in essential supplies, and water was so scarce that no-one washed. Together with the other miners, she braved the heat, the flies and the dust. Every day she waited for that special sound the pick made when it cracked opal. The first woman to dig her own shafts in the Australian opal fields, Minnie began her working life as a typist in London. But she and her younger brother, Victor, sought freedom and adventure in the 1920s and found plenty of it in the outback. 'Destined to become an outback classic' - Liz Harfull, bestselling author of Women of the Land 'Minnie brings to life a gutsy, independent woman living a remarkable but simple life in the harshest of conditions' - Juliet Wills, author of The Diamond Dakota Mystery
