This book is the outcome of a Writer's Workshop conducted by the Nanum Wungthin Training Centre at Napranum, Weipa, in May 1997. The students involved were all of Aboriginal or Islander descent and most had been born in the area. Peter Delbridge, head of the training centre, organised the workshop and arranged for our visit.. The aim of the workshop was to involve the students in the writing and production of a small book that would present a picture of Weipa through the eyes of its original inhabitants.

Something big is about to happen in the eastern Mediterranean; potentially a crime against humanity. It will be soon, and in many places but the target and the means are far from clear.
Emma Jazy is a twenty-nine-year-old Swiss agent with IIB, the Netherlands-based International Investigations Bureau. IIB’s brief is to obtain court-admissible evidence about criminals operating across international borders.
It is 2013. Can IIB get inside the mind of the ageing former Irish revolutionary, Padraic Hennessy, to sift through a complex fear campaign and unlock a criminal plan? For Emma, it is also personal. Hennessy’s involvement with her family goes back decades, long before her birth.
From Ireland, to Cyprus, Croatia, Lebanon, Germany and Israel, to a gripping climax near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, The Run goes inside the psyche of the revolutionary fighter … the willingness and need to kill or die for a cause.

Searching for Siobhan, on the surface, is a story about a Queensland high-school teacher, Harry Boyd, searching for his missing lodger. But that expands into a geo-political crime mystery of global potential due to a wealthy man's ego. It is a tale about trust, fades, the abuse of power and society looking away.
Set in the Brisbane of 2009, Harry is a mathematics teacher whose Irish-reporter tenant, Siobhan Doyle, disappears in puzzling circumstances. He reluctantly becomes the amateur detective to find her. Harry struggles with the apparent inaction of the police and employs his own private investigators: local sleuth, Mike Grant; and, on Grant's recommendation, an up-market Sydney PI, Jane Winston, who introduces him to the big end of town.
It is the confident attractive Winston who invites Harry to Sydney to meet a wealthy investment consultant, Geoffrey Bryson. This opens a whole new awareness of high-level corporate crime and the activities of Brisbane-based global entrepreneur, Basil Stannard. The elephant in the room is the subterfuge around Stannard's multi-billion-dollar visionary project for the nation. It is Harry's skill with mathematics that eventually resolves the dangerous mystery.
