No Turning BackBy Roger Rees
“Powerful, realistic and moving – I wept.” Christine Durham, author & former Senior Victorian of the Year (Doing Up Buttons) Roger Rees is an Emeritus Professor of Disability Research, in the School of Medicine at Flinders University, whose principal focus of his clinical practice has been on brain injury, neurological disorders and working with people with HIV/AIDS. A widely published journalist & author, in his new book No Turning Back Rees turns his focus to Ethiopia; the health issues faced by millions of its people, the plight of the most vulnerable in the community and the political events and cultural realities that many of us choose to remain unaware of in our comfortable lives half way across the world.
About No Turning Back Louise a young Australian anthropologist and Zeno an Ethiopian doctor find love in Ethiopia following its disastrous 1984-85 famine. In Ethiopia Louise observes poverty she never believed possible and spends time living with a remote nomadic Ethiopian tribe, the Hamar, gaining insight into their way of life. Stretching through to present day we follow their lives and experiences including an HIV diagnosis and management. |

Little IslandsBy J.S Scholz
J.S. Scholz is a writer from South Australia’s Fleurieu Peninsula. His writing has been published in Australia, and as far afield as Norway. His short stories have won many writing competitions including winning the SA Writers’ Festival Short Story Award twice, and the EJ Brady Award. Little Islands is an anthology of his best stories.
About Little Islands Beautifully crafted, these wonderful stories resonate with humanity – its subtleties, omissions, follies and frailties. Acutely observed settings and juxtapositions reveal the complexity of life. A boy builds a model solar system while his world falls apart; a reviled outcast searches for sanctuary at Christmas; a young policeman confronts ugliness in a beautiful landscape. Thieves, farmers, prison guards, real estate agents, factory workers, surfers, fishermen in a tinny – human hearts behind the mask and the uniform.
