  A Modest Proposal is a biting satirical essay in which Jonathan Swift "proposes" that impoverished Irish families could ease their financial troubles by selling their babies as food to the rich. Written in 1729, this shocking and brilliantly ironic work criticizes British colonial rule and social indifference.Swift's deadpan tone and exaggerated logic make this short piece a masterpiece of satire. Behind its dark humor lies a powerful critique of exploitation, injustice, and the failure of political solutions. It remains one of the most famous and disturbing essays in the English language.

  A Second Chance/Forced Proximity Gay Romance 
  Kaz has a choice to make. Should he transition to vampire in the lab, becoming another rat under Uriel's thumb? Or should he take a chance and return to the team? The team who still believes he betrayed them. Who think of him as a traitorous spy. Who'll probably decide to lash him to a stake and burn him beside the begonias with Daniel holding the torch. 
  As he's never been a coward, Kaz decides to put his vulnerable life in the hands of the team. He'll explain why he was forced to lie and hide the truth. That the threats focused toward the team were serious and the schemes the archangels devised had to be stopped. Some may believe him, but not the most important team member. Daniel will never trust him again. 
  Danny is spending too much energy composing sad songs and arguing with anyone who pokes their head into the office to see how he's doing. He's fine. Really. He's fine. But when a bleeding, wingless Kaz tumbles through the portal he's positive the fates are not done messing with him. After doing what he can, he leaves the rest of the team to deal with Kaz and takes off to spend a few days with his friends. Maybe order in a deliciously handsome blood donor. Exactly what he needs to keep his mind off Kaz and his delicious scent and his wicked smile. 
  Only a call comes in that a pack of rogue vampires have taken over parts of San Francisco, killing innocents and turning the residents' lives into a living nightmare. Kaz is the logical vampire to send to scope out the situation and report back. Only his behavior has been erratic, and the team captain wants Danny to accompany him. Now Danny has to take charge of the mission and make sure the male who broke his heart keeps his hands and mouth and...everything else as far away from him as possible!

  A stunning evocation of Australian life through the war to the 1950s, this novel is intimate and sweeping, immediate and dreamlike - a magical rendering of darkness and joy, and the beauty inherent in difference. For readers of Sarah Winman's Still Life, Trent Dalton's All Our Shimmering Skies and Rosalie Ham's The Dressmaker. 
    
  Connie Starr was always a difficult child. Her mother knew as soon as Connie entered the world that day in Ballarat in 1934 and opened her lungs to scream, there was more chaos in the world than before and it wouldn't leave until Connie did. From the safety of a branch high in her lemon tree where she speaks to angels, she sees the world for what it is - a swirling mass of beauty and darkness, of trauma and family, of love and war and truth and lies - lies that might just undo her and drive her to a desperate act. 
  This ambitious, complex and insightful novel intertwines numerous stories of lives from before World War II and beyond, recreating with intimacy and breadth a world that is now lost to us. This book is a brightly coloured patchwork quilt of everything from shoes to polio, lemon trees to rivers, death to life that melds into one beautiful, luminous work of art. 
  'The Secret World of Connie Starr will set the literary firmament ablaze. This brilliant, quintessentially Australian ode to difference, transcends time and place - it's an achingly lovely tale that shines long after the last page.' Karen Brooks, author of The Good Wife of Bath
