    Whilst learning to fly, Amanda Harrison discovered a beautiful vintage Tiger Moth. After researching the amazing pioneers who flew this fragile aircraft, a spark was ignited, and Amanda dreamed of emulating their adventures. On May 11, 2019, she made that dream a reality, taking off from Biggin Hill with the aim of flying to Darwin, Australia in twenty days—just as her idol Amy Johnson had done in 1930. Solo2Darwin documents one woman's exhilarating journey across the world. Indeed, the launch of her biplane, 'Solo2Darwin', received extensive press coverage, including print features in The Times and The Telegraph and TV footage broadcasted on ITV and Channel 5 News respectively. 
     
     
     
    Faced with adversity, navigating through torturous mountain ranges covered in cloud, across seas, dodging thunderstorms, and surviving engine failures, Amanda's route had plenty of highs, lows, and drama. Alongside this she also experienced the difficulties of solo-flying a biplane and having to navigate dangerous regions across the world. What makes Amanda's expedition even more remarkable is that this was all undertaken whilst recovering from cancer. 
     
     
     
    So strap in and prepare to go on a journey of a lifetime. Twelve countries, 2,600 miles, forty-six flying hours, two engine failures, one airplane, one female pilot, all equals one amazing adventure!

    The twenty-one years that kept Rob separated from his wife, Fox, and their six sons was long enough. As Rob survived two decades at America's bloodiest penitentiary and Fox raised their sons solo, they never stopped fighting for Rob's freedom and for their futures against the statistical odds.

    Part provocateur, part seducer, this young gay man’s account of life offers one of the freshest takes on Australia and the world today. 
    Honouring poets of the past – Jean Genet, Veronica Franco, Euripedes, Hunter S. Thompson, Oscar Wilde – and joining in their task of finding meaning in existence and the modern world, Tolcher has produced a brazenly honest debut without precedent. 
    Through his writing he subverts his own shame, weaponises it, and positions himself as an anti-hero of our time right when we need him the most. 
    Following his humble beginnings as an outcast in the dreary outer suburbs of Brisbane and escalating into a Dionysian, poetic and pornographic international climax, Poof follows Tolcher's search for love and purpose as he is drawn to the beds of powerful, sadistic men. If he can endure just a little longer, a little more... will they love him? 
    In an age of victimhood, Tolcher offers us a roadmap to empowerment and integrity as he pulls back the curtain on both our pride and our shame, and shines a spotlight on a hidden history that has been erased time and again.
