Cut is a thrilling, provocative novel set against the backdrop of a major Melbourne hospital's surgical team in the time before #metoo blew the lid off institutionalised misogyny and sexism (and will appeal to readers of Love & Virtue and Emotional Female). Carla is a young doctor striving to become the first female surgeon at a prestigious Melbourne hospital. When a consultant post opens up, she competes with her lover for the job and thinks she can be judged on merit. But an assault after a boozy workplace dinner leaves her traumatised and struggling to cope with the misogyny coming from every corner of her workplace. Recovering her fragmented memories from that night, Carla begins a fight for justice that will shake the foundations of the hospital she loves.

Rachel, after being shuttled from one bad foster family to another ever since her mother died in a car accident, is sent to a place that is a last resort for kids like her: a farm in the middle of nowhere run by a disfigured recluse.

Ten Thousand Truths

Bug has a secret. Actually, he has a lot of secrets ... NUMBER ONE: he’s formed a basketball team at his new school based on a giant lie. NUMBER TWO: his parents don’t know he’s playing basketball again. NUMBER THREE: his new team-mates have no idea he isn’t allowed to play, and they definitely don’t know why. Bug will do ANYTHING to keep his secrets, keep his new team and keep his life from falling apart. Because no one can know THE BIGGEST SECRET OF ALL ... Bug risks his life every time he steps out onto the basketball court.

Take the Shot

Emery is a Less Than, raised behind a wall and under a roof that rarely opens, in a system that grooms some to be lowly and some to be Elite. When she is offered an assignment to take care of the Old Ones, she glimpses a world beyond the restricted one she has known. She plans to escape with Augustus, who longs to see the farm he used to live on, and Emery learns much more about the system that kept her from ever seeing the sky--and about the beautiful, rich world she's been kept from. She tastes food, sees trees, and uncovers her own past for the first time. A hopeful story about a crumbling dystopia, Skyward is a reminder of what happens when we put money before people, and how love is the best resistance.
