Books
Alice
Alice was expensively educated, but disappoints everyone by choosing to trek round the world, keeping the company of lame ducks. When she decides to marry Chris Warren, who owns a fast car and a beautiful house, Alice's mother breathes a sigh of relief. However, although Alice professes to love Chris, it transpires she knew when she married him that all was not well. Her friends and family can only watch helplessly while she ferrets into his past, risking her life, until she herself forces the tragic climax.
Scarlett and the Winter Faeries
Come away, O human child, human child, human child; To the woods and waters wild, La, la, la, la, la. It's hot Summer in Melbourne, but cold Winter in the Coastland, where the Caretaker faeries quietly tend the forest - but there are storms and lost dragons to deal with (as well as mid-Winter parties and walks along the beach to enjoy), as Scarlett, a young visitor from the human world, will discover. Join Scarlett, Emerald, Acacia, Wystie, Sedge, Flax and Redleaf for a memorable season in the land of the Winter Faeries.
