  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  A BRAND NEW emotional and heartfelt WWI saga of friendship, courage and a close-knit harbour community from the BESTSELLING author of The Last Boat Home! Perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Kitty Neale.'Vividly brings to life several major periods in history: the Titanic, the Great War and the Suffragettes, binding them together through the warmth, friendship and courage of the Lifeboat Girls. Warning: tissues need to be on hand' Molly Green 
  Can their friendship help them weather the storm? 
  Young Julia Fowler’s life revolves around Poole Harbour and its lifeboat – her older brother Wilbur is a volunteer crew member, and every blast of the mortar fills her with fear for his safety. 
  When news of the Titanic disaster reaches the town, the close-knit seafaring community is rocked to its core. One of their own has been lost, and grief hangs over the harbour. But Julia and her friends – Kathy, Flora, and Betsy – are also discovering new opportunities for themselves, stepping up in a world that is slowly beginning to open doors to women. 
  Yet change is never easy. Opposition rises at home and in the community, and tensions grow as the country edges closer to war. Julia dreams of a better childhood for her younger siblings, even as the world around her becomes increasingly uncertain. 
  As the girls navigate heartbreak, responsibility, and the stirrings of romance, they must rely on their friendship to guide them through darkening times. 
  Will it be enough to see them safely into the future?

  In the lawless town of Egalitaria, Stryker is drawn into a violent web of power and revenge when Morgan Bickford, a fiery and relentless woman with secrets of her own, hires him to recover her stolen assets. Stryker agrees—reluctantly. But he soon realizes the job is dirtier than it seemed, and Morgan's enemies might be more dangerous than his.  
  Cutthroat deals. Brutal ambushes. A trail of bodies in his wake. 
  They call him Evil Stryker, and the name fits just fine.

  For the Term of His Natural Life

  Marcus Clarke

  For the Term of his Natural Life, written by Marcus Clarke, was published in the Australian Journal between 1870 and 1872 (as His Natural Life), appearing as a novel in 1874. It is the best known novelisation of life as a convict in early Australian history. Described as a "ripping yarn", and at times relying on seemingly implausible coincidences, the story follows the fortunes of Rufus Dawes, a young man transported for a murder which he did not commit. The harsh and inhumane treatment meted out to the convicts, some of whom were transported for relatively minor crimes, is clearly conveyed. The conditions experienced by the convicts are graphically described. The novel was based on research by the author as well as a visit to the penal settlement of Port Arthur, Tasmania.
