<p><strong>Ghost Armies</strong> presents Andrew Sneddon’s poetic works <em>Fukuoka</em> and <em>The Wait-a-While Vine</em> in one volume. Sneddon’s connected verses explore two defining episodes in Australia’s history and provide emotional and cultural insights of both personal and universal import.</p>
<p><em>Fukuoka</em> relates the experiences of two Australian brothers, Alf and Wally, in a prisoner-of-war camp in Japan during the Second World War. The work contemplates life and death, brutality and kindness, beauty and horror, courage and cowardice. It reflects on suffering and the consequences of suffering.</p>
<p><em>The Wait-a-While Vine</em> is a poetic imagining of the doomed Cape York expedition of Edmund Kennedy and Jacky Jacky in 1848. It presents playful vignettes of society in colonial New South Wales, meditates on convict life and the interactions between colonists and traditional owners, and follows the events of the expedition. Ultimately it is the story of an unlikely friendship.</p>
<p>This is an extraordinarily moving collection of poetry about love, endurance and the human condition.</p>

<strong>Fukuoka</strong> relates the experiences of two Australian brothers, Alf and Wally, in a prisoner-of-war camp in Japan during the Second World War, expressed in poetry in the voice of the surviving brother Alf.
<p />Based on the lives of his own great-uncles, Andrew Sneddon’s poetry captures the intimacy that exists between brothers, while reflecting on the psychology of the human condition in ways that transcend the particular.
<p />Sneddon’s verse contemplates life and death, brutality and kindness, beauty and horror, courage and cowardice. It reflects on suffering and the consequences of suffering.
<p>Each poem — some bleak, some uplifting, some confronting and others soothing — will move readers in different ways. <strong>Fukuoka</strong> is poetry for those who question what it is to be human.</p>

<strong>The Wait-a-While Vine</strong> is a poetic imagining of the doomed Cape York expedition of Edmund Kennedy and Jacky Jacky in 1848. The verses merge landscape and dreamscape, history and legend. Beginning with the young Kennedy’s life in England and ending with Jacky Jacky’s death, the poems traverse topics as diverse as the terrain covered by the explorers. <p /><strong>The Wait-a-While Vine</strong> presents playful vignettes of society in colonial New South Wales, meditates on convict life and the interactions between colonists and traditional owners, and follows the events of the expedition – sometimes from the perspective of a dispassionate observer, at other times in the voice of Kennedy himself. Ultimately it is the story of an unlikely friendship. <p />These lyrical verses bring to life a fascinating part of Australia’s past and reinterpret the renowned harshness and beauty of the Australian bush.

<strong>The Wait-a-While Vine</strong> is a poetic imagining of the doomed Cape York expedition of Edmund Kennedy and Jacky Jacky in 1848. It presents playful vignettes of society in colonial New South Wales, meditates on convict life and the interactions between colonists and traditional owners, and follows the events of the expedition.

Life becomes complicated for Simon – a fundamentalist preacher and marriage guidance counsellor – when he realises in between adulterous affairs that he is, in fact, an atheist. From his dingy office in Kings Cross, from the pulpit, and from the beds of his lovers, Simon sorrowfully observes the hypocrisies and corruption of the worlds that he inhabits. And sometimes he embraces them. Raunchy, blasphemous, provocative and funny.

Natasha
Ewendt
Natasha began her foray into creative writing at the age of four when she crafted “Cool Sharks”, an illustrated masterpiece about sharks who ditch the ocean’s depths for the waves and become “surfer dudes”, donning sunnies and surfboards and spouting terribly cool ’80s terms such as “rad”. This magnum opus was inspired by the infamous sharks and surfers of her hometown Port Lincoln, South Australia, where she still resides. She has since, sadly, moved on from poorly illustrated books about cool sharks.
Often (rather rightfully) compared to Daria of the eponymous animation, Natasha has to her name 14 years of newspaper journalism, a self-published children’s book Dragontide and short stories in magazines like Woman’s Day. She hopes to add to this a few extremely disturbing novels exploring her favourite theme: all things dark and twisty.

When the new goth girl in town Maggie befriends town misfit Lily, they discover more in common than their taste in alternative music: a disdain for the "popular" and "normal", psychic abilities, and the same dark secret.
United in their struggle against society’s rules, Lily frequently wishes for death while Maggie wants a better kind of existence — and revenge.
When a dark spell performed in teenage despair is invoked years later, they are plunged into the demon world, a world that has its own rules, family bonds, and mortal enemies they never even knew existed.
Suddenly the darkness within, the victim’s desire for power over aggressors, and blood lust become literal matters of life and death. Lily and Maggie are forced to question what they really value — including each other.

Natasha began her foray into creative writing at the age of four when she crafted “Cool Sharks”, an illustrated masterpiece about sharks who ditch the ocean’s depths for the waves and become “surfer dudes”, donning sunnies and surfboards and spouting terribly cool ’80s terms such as “rad”. This magnum opus was inspired by the infamous sharks and surfers of her hometown Port Lincoln, South Australia, where she still resides. She has since, sadly, moved on from poorly illustrated books about cool sharks.
Often (rather rightfully) compared to Daria of the eponymous animation, Natasha has to her name 14 years of newspaper journalism, a self-published children’s book Dragontide and short stories in magazines like Woman’s Day. She hopes to add to this a few extremely disturbing novels exploring her favourite theme: all things dark and twisty.

Dark secrets shared …
Dark spells invoked …
Death desired and death defied …
Goth Maggie and misfit Lily unite against school, family, society, normality and life itself. But can they fight the darkness within?
When the demon world claims them, revenge and blood lust become literal matters of life and death. A new darkness tests their relationship with the world – and each other.
Natasha Ewendt is a journalist un-living in Port Lincoln, South Australia.

"From da kokroach point of view, humans are irrelvant. Kokroaches no like em. Doan want em. Do not even tink bout em. Doan care for deh conversations. Books we like to eat, not read. We wish humans dead so we can eat em too." — Sizwe Bantu, The Cockroach Whisperer, 2010.
Sizwe Bantu is the Greatest African Writer of All Time – according to Timothy Turner, failed academic and lover, who not only lives by Bantu’s words but keeps a giant rubber cockroach in homage to the writer of the renowned ‘cockroach stories’.
Inspired to travel to Bantu country, Timothy takes up a position at a university near the place rumoured to be the reclusive writer’s residence in the misty Zululand hills. Instead of drawing closer to his source of inspiration, Timothy is drawn into a Machiavellian world of campus politics and suppressed desire.
As Timothy grapples with the mystery surrounding Makaya, the academic he has replaced, and the demands of his students, particularly the attractive Tracey, he must confront his own paranoia, prejudice and insecurity in a search for the shocking truth. "
Cokcraco" is an exhilarating, playful and witty novel that explores writing, identity and politics.

"A strange, funny, intelligent and quite unforgettable novel. What Flaubert did for parrots, Mr Williams has done for the humble roach." — Jeffrey Poacher
01
20130903
01
00
Ever since Don Quixote, novelists have been taking the piss. In "Cokcraco", Paul Williams does exactly that, turning the full beam of his satirical spotlight on the civil wars of university departments, the cultish bunkum of literary theory, the self-obsession of creative writing courses and the self-flagellation of white liberal guilt. In the process, Mr Williams also succeeds in poking fun at the conventions of the novel itself.
"Cokcraco" reads like a collage of what one of its pompous academics would probably call discourses – pseudo-scholarly footnotes, pseudo-scientific articles, pseudo-poems, pseudo-stories and a cod travel guide memorably called "Crowded Planet." This is a novel that does its best to defy classification. This is a novel that sets out to be a real genre-bender – it’s at once a cross-cultural comedy of manners, a campus comedy transplanted to post-apartheid South Africa and a sly philosophical whodunit.
So there is some serious fun to be had here, but with something darkly serious lurking under the lush tropical surface. In this country of gated communities and ubiquitous Kalashnikovs, violence never seems far away. The novel’s central character, an expat Australian academic called Timothy Turner, has braved the post-apartheid chaos and come to KwaZulu on a quest to find a renowned local writer whose diverse literary output celebrates the cockroach as an emblem of both oppression and resistance.
This quest turns out to be a lot more than the ingenuous Dr Turner bargained for. By his side, the reader will encounter cockroaches in every incarnation under the sun – as scientific marvel (surviving nuclear war and all that), as cultural marker (the rich don’t like them), as interior decoration (glued onto furniture as a kind of ornamental strip), as embodiment of the frustrated male ego (well, we all know who Gregor Samsa is), as narrative voice, as literary inspiration.
The result is a strange, funny, intelligent and quite unforgettable novel. What Flaubert did for parrots, Mr Williams has done for the humble roach.

Victoria Eliza Annie MacLean can’t escape actors. Her father Richard, who raised her in a bohemian and somewhat morally negligent household, is a famous actor. Her childhood playmate and “prince” Billy is inspired and encouraged by Richard to pursue his dream of acting. All the men she is seriously attracted to turn out to be actors – and not just in their professional lives.
With so much drama in her life, Eliza is determined to be normal and – like many people from dysfunctional families – become a psychologist, despite her faerie looks and her penchant for playing bluegrass fiddle. Indeed, Eliza’s life is anything but normal.
Annie Warwick, as the witty and humorous Omniscient Narrator, entertains us, with sex and romance, strange coincidences, dramatic action sequences and bloody violence in this modern-day melodrama.

Annie Warwick was born in England but has lived in Australia since she was 4 years old. She currently lives in Tasmania in the middle of a deep, dark deciduous forest with two delicious young men and a geriatric cat. She concedes, with some regret, that she is lying about the two delicious young men.
Annie trained as a health professional somewhat later in life than is usual, having been preoccupied with child-raising and office duties. She has written a multitude of poems and vignettes, as well as the terribly droll "Arachnophobicon", all unpublished. She looks forward to, one day, no longer being a health professional, so she can roll around ecstatically in the mediocrity of her own spare time: travelling, raising chooks, making soft furnishings, learning to play the piano again and, of course, writing.

In Hyderabad in 1948, a love triangle evolves between three young people with conflicting ideals: an Australian schoolteacher, an Indian nationalist and an Indian nationalist revolutionary. The turbulent events of this phase of the struggle for Indian independence come alive and take their toll half a century later in Sydney, 2001 – the year of 'Tampa' in Australia. "The Last Candles of the Night" is a lyrical and moving tale of the pitfalls of memory and the costs of deep allegiance.

After a lifetime in India, Philip returns to Australia, to his estranged wife Jenny, whom he had brought from India fifty years earlier. Philip seeks to establish links with his ex-wife and his grandson amidst the 2001 'Tampa' crisis. Displaced and disappointed in his hopes of resuming a career in his own country, Philip is visited by a ghost: Ragini, the young revolutionary he fell in love with in 1948.
Philip is troubled by his unsorted memories of those times. In 1948 India has achieved its independence but the princely state of Hyderabad – the Nizam's Dominions – with its feudal splendours and deep pockets of rural poverty and injustice, totters alone, unwilling to accede to India, fighting Communist insurrection within. Philip, 'the world's youngest headmaster', has been appointed from Australia to a one-teacher school in the distant town of Warangal, a post no Hindu will take. He meets Anand, a Congress Party member working to bring Hyderabad into the Indian Union, and Ragini, the daughter of a landlord and a Communist, who has given away the family lands. A love triangle develops as events sweep them up – events that will return to life and take their toll half a century later.

'Effective writing: plain English at work, second edition, is about writing that works: it is based on sound English grammar and plain English style. If you want to write in a way that is clear and meaningful, to avoid writing ‘gobbledegook’, and to be able to explain effective writing to others, this book is for you.
Through this book you will gain the skills needed to write cohesive paragraphs and to consider your target audience. This updated edition also considers writing emails, material for websites, and other workplace writing that wasn’t covered in the first edition.
- How do you explain to a colleague why their writing ‘doesn’t make sense’?
- Why does choice of font matter in a document?
- What is appropriate use of social media in the workplace?
- Why is white space important in an email and in a printed report?
Many such questions are answered here. You can practise writing and check your progress by doing the activities after every topic. Use this book as a self-tutor or as a class textbook.

'Effective writing: plain English at work, second edition, is about writing that works: it is based on sound English grammar and plain English style. If you want to write in a way that is clear and meaningful, to avoid writing ‘gobbledegook’, and to be able to explain effective writing to others, this book is for you.
Through this book you will gain the skills needed to write cohesive paragraphs and to consider your target audience. This updated edition also considers writing emails, material for websites, and other workplace writing that wasn’t covered in the first edition.
- How do you explain to a colleague why their writing ‘doesn’t make sense’?
- Why does choice of font matter in a document?
- What is appropriate use of social media in the workplace?
- Why is white space important in an email and in a printed report?
Many such questions are answered here. You can practise writing and check your progress by doing the activities after every topic. Use this book as a self-tutor or as a class textbook.

They say the past is another country but for Australian-born Lily the past is another language: Hungarian, the language of her migrant family, the language of secrets. If there's one thing Lily's Mama and grandmother Anyu agree on, it's that Hungarian is impossible to learn. But the past is the key to Lily's future: she needs to know more about her father's death from an illness she may have inherited. A chance encounter with the family nemesis Eva - leads to illicit Hungarian lessons in Eva's coffee shop. Can Lily keep her meetings with Eva a secret from Anyu long enough to unlock the past and possibly save her own life?

They say the past is another country but for
Australian-born Lily the past is another language: Hungarian, the language of her migrant family, the language of secrets …
But Lily’s family secrets hold the key to her father’s death from a mysterious illness she may have inherited. Just when any
conversation becomes interesting, it trails off into Hungarian - a language Lily was never taught. If there’s one thing that Lily’s mother and grandmother agree on, it’s that Hungarian
is impossible to learn.
A chance encounter with Eva, the family’s nemesis, leads to illicit Hungarian lessons in Eva’s coffee shop. Between mouthfuls of black forest cake and Hungarian poetry, Lily learns more than she signed up for. Developing
feelings for Nixon, the Hungarian but non-Jewish waiter, is a complication she doesn’t need.
Can Lily keep her meetings with Eva and relationship with Nixon a secret long enough to unlock the past and possibly save her own life?

After backpacking around Asia, Anne Fitzpatrick spent three months volunteering in rural India. Inspired by the program, she returned to Australia determined to raise funds for the education of young people in Kodaikanal, by cycling around Australia – despite having no experience of either cycling or fundraising.
"Cycle of Learning" is Anne's story about her journey and the people she meets across urban and rural Australia – at Australian schools and church groups where Anne arranged to speak, among the cycling community she found on the road, and the family, friends and total strangers who assisted her.
It is also the story of the people in India involved in the education program for which she was raising funds, as children when she first met them and as young adults when she returns nearly ten years later.
"Cycle of Learning" is a highly readable, funny and inspiring true story.

“I crashed to the ground, landing sandwiched between the bitumen and the bike I was somehow expecting to ride solo and unsupported around Australia. I couldn’t even ride it to work without embedding bitumen into my knees and grating strips of skin from my forearms. What was I thinking?”
After backpacking around Asia, Anne Fitzpatrick spent three months volunteering in rural India. Inspired by the program, she returned to Australia determined to raise funds for the education of young people in Kodaikanal, by cycling solo around Australia – despite having no experience of either long-distance cycling or fundraising.
CYCLE OF LEARNING is Anne’s story about her journey and the people she met across urban and rural Australia – at Australian schools and community groups where she arranged to speak, among the fellow cyclists she found on the road, and the family, friends and total strangers who assisted her.
It is also the story of the people in India involved in the education program for which she was raising funds, as children when she first met them and as young adults when she returns nearly ten years later.
This is a highly readable, funny and inspiring true story.

“I crashed to the ground, landing sandwiched between the bitumen and the bike I was somehow expecting to ride solo and unsupported around Australia. I couldn’t even ride it to work without embedding bitumen into my knees and grating strips of skin from my forearms. What was I thinking?”

Mica and Pearl are ‘girlies’ who have come of age. Mica hopes Pearl has been chosen for Perfection but suspects she has absconded. To find Pearl, Mica must enter a frightening physical and moral terrain where insurgents and outcasts are still fighting a strategic war against the clerical regime - or violate the secret-sacred Orchid Nursery.

The Fifteens of Stone House have reached Attainment: the day a girlie may Beseech for the privilege of serving as a Perfected womanidol in the Orchid Nursery. When vivacious, irreverent Pearl goes missing, pious Mica hopes fervently that her friend has been chosen for Perfection and has not, as she fears, absconded from the State. Mica feels bound by love and duty to seek Pearl — to save her from punishment if she is caught by the Ecumen or, worse, if she has left Civilisation.
Mica’s search will take her into a frightening physical and moral terrain where insurgents and outcasts are still fighting a strategic war against the clerical regime. But first Mica must bring herself to violate the secret–sacred space that is the Orchid Nursery.
Through its youthful protagonists The Orchid Nursery explores sexual politics and the co-opting of religion to perpetrate extremes of misogyny, violence, control and obliteration of the cultural and historical record. It also sees the possibility of hope emerging from the worst kind of dystopia.

“A powerful story, so visual and present it feels like a cross between a painting by Hieronymus Bosch and M C Escher ... Confronting in its truths, The Orchid Nursery’s richness of language also layers it in warmth and humour.” — Stephanie Smith
“A superbly crafted vision of a toxic cultural wasteland. Three women: rebel, zealot, hag. Three journeys through a disintegrated future. Check current news reportage before claiming the horrors of The Orchid Nursery could never come to pass within our lifetime.” — Cat Sparks
“Terrifying, but so beautifully, dreamily written.” — Elizabeth Farrelly
“[A] febrile world of strong and desperate characters, alien lore and changing loyalties ... that Katz presents with luminous, edgy and at times almost unbearably vivid descriptions. Mysterious and compelling, the narrative is etched with a grim humour in its dark evocation of a world both eerie and strange and yet also disturbingly familiar.” — Libby Hathorn
