|  | | Calandra's Spring
Calandra D’Arcy, trapped in a body that has not aged since pre-puberty, suffers the frustration and loneliness of an adult woman. To survive, she must find a mysterious spring, the source of chemicals needed to bring her back to the age of her long-lost first love, Aaron Kreisler whom she cunningly ropes in to help her quest. Their strategy to beat Big Cosmetics and a Gypsy family - apparently in the Corporation’s pocket - to the site of the spring, involves violence and sexual tension that is far outside their comfort zone.
Exotic locations from Australia to Japan and Transnistria, (that renegade nation the UN are ignoring), 'Calandra's Spring' takes the worlds of Ballet, Gypsies, perpetual youth, and Big Cosmetics and their collision makes for an thrilling adventure. The unexpected reunion of two old friends entangles them in a chase that has them on the brink of jeopardy from the beginning. | |  | | The Other Side of Nowhere
This haunting thriller, idyllic yet violent and cruel, will take you on a journey through exotic and harsh lands, accompanied by many of the characters who live and love there. Episodic, at times epic, it covers many of the agonies of country life which, at times, can be ultra-conservative when it should be conservationist. The people of this region, however, have big ideas. And big tragedies to overcome. City folk, perhaps, just don't get it.
How simple it is for bureaucrats, comfy in their Aeron office chairs, to destroy the ambience of a shire! With just a few emails they can green-light paved roads, bridges, noxious waste dumps or destructive mining projects trampling over the environment, traditional owners and locals. When residents are consumed with their own cares - fire, flood, illegal refugees, drought and murder, all of which occur with surprising regularity in a typical Australian outback shire - vested interests can strike a mean blow.br />
