"Some people find their place in the world easily. For Emily Reynolds, it’s not that simple."

Finding My Place is a heartfelt coming-of-age novel that follows Emily, a seventeen-year-old autistic teenager who sees the world through a lens of detail, logic, and overwhelming sensation.
Navigating high school is like walking through a storm of noise, light, and social confusion, but Emily has her routines, her art, and her best friend Izzy to anchor her. That is, until an unexpected classmate named Lachlan begins to challenge her isolation with gentle curiosity and genuine understanding.
As Emily explores new friendships, budding connections, and the possibility that her differences might also be her strengths, she must decide whether it's safer to stay invisible or brave enough to let herself be seen.
Told with authenticity, nuance, and warmth, Finding My Place captures the quiet strength it takes to live in a world that doesn’t always make room for difference. This is a story for anyone who has ever felt on the outside looking in, and wondered if belonging was even possible.

Sarah starts every morning behind. Keys in the lunchbox. Toast on fire. Permission slips she hasn't signed. Two kids who need more than she can give, and a brain that won't cooperate.
When her husband leaves — needing, he says, normal — Sarah is left to rebuild a life around the one thing that has never made her feel broken: the soil under her hands at the community botanical gardens, where things grow on their own time, in their own way.
Rooted is the story of a woman learning to stop apologising for how her mind works — and two children growing up knowing their brains are different, not wrong. It is funny, honest, and quietly devastating in the way that only the truest stories are.
A novel about ADHD, motherhood, and finding the conditions where you can finally flourish.

Some ghosts are buried in land. Others in memory.

When twenty-two-year-old Evie Laurens returns to her family's rural property in Millbrook after the death of her grandfather, she expects some quiet months of sorting paperwork and preparing the house for sale. But the land has other plans.
The paddocks feel different. The sheep avoid one field like it's cursed. And when Evie finds an old photo marked with ochre and a hidden laptop filled with her brother Joel’s encrypted files, she starts to unravel a legacy far more tangled. and dangerous, than she ever imagined.
Haunted by grief and fuelled by questions no one in town wants to answer, Evie is pulled into a decades-old mystery surrounding her family, a secretive land deal, and the silent paddock locals refuse to name. As strange phenomena mount and buried truths claw their way to the surface, Evie must decide what’s worth holding onto: comfort, truth, or justice for the brother who never stopped searching.
