  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Cassie was a little girl who took every word literally and couldn't understand why she was 'welcomed to my coun- try' every day at school. Asked to leave and be home-s- chooled, her nana, Tina, enlisted the help of her friend Rewsta Hately, and he rewrote the rainbow serpent story for Cassie to draw. 
  Meanwhile, Tina stumbled into the dark web when trying to make sense of how we are all being WOKED by left-wing political leaders and the ABC into believing our culture is inherently bad. Rewsta realized our cultural heritage was also being attacked and willfully discredited by well-funded right-wing activists and progressives. 
  Rewsta's retirement village neighbours, known as the 'Second Marooners, were up to no good, led by the bullying and greedy manager, Myra Mindil. Rewsta came to believe that not only were our rights being abused but, in his potentially lethal retirement village, pride and democracy had already been vanquished. 
  Just when he deserved a peaceful retirement, his fight for Cassie's rights and the antics in the village drew him into a world of intrigue and the unbelievable betrayal of our constitutional monarchy's foundations.

  If you had to choose which memories to keep, who would you become? 
  Sam has a problem. In a world where all of your memories can be digitally augmented and recorded for later viewing and sharing, Sam's are eroding fast due to malfunctioning equipment. Unfortunately for Sam, that particular bit of equipment is installed in his brain, and a simple malfunction can lead to a decidedly less than simple cerebral hemorrhage, coma, and even death. Sam's only hope to prevent losing everything is a pithy computer program, a piece of technology known as The Goldfish. 
  ◆ ◆ ◆ 
  "The Goldfish is a grounded, touching, tranche-de-vie, wrapped in a seventies-style, high-concept sci-fi blanket. Dunlap manages to draw the reader into an unbelievable world by crafting a completely believable drama focusing on a protagonist that's instantly relatable--a smart man, troubled, but still striving to do right by the people in his life. Stanislaw Lem would be proud, and Ryan Dunlap should be too."

  The Handsome Man is a collection of linked stories that follow several years of the life of a young man as he is drawn around the world: from Toronto to Montreal, New York, Ohio, New Mexico, British Columbia, Berlin, Rome, and Northern Ontario, along the way meeting hippies, healers, drinkers, movie stars, old friends, and welcoming strangers. He isn't travelling, however; he's running away. But as far and fast as he runs, the world won't let him disappear, and each new encounter and every lost soul he meets along this journey brings him closer and closer to certain truths he'd locked away: how to trust, how to live in this world, and most of all, how to love again.

  A literary romance like no other – Kimberly Campanello’s debut novel unfurls over a hot Breton summer as American student K embarks on a love affair with a local.
  Barred from using English by their French programme, the other Americans’ identities flicker and fade. Yet for K this dissolution opens space for profound transformation.
  Heady and poetic, erotic and intelligent, this is a coming-of-age tale that reveals how coming-of-age – at its pinnacle – means coming alive. Alive to touch and taste, pleasure and ecstasy. To the sea, the sun and eternity.
  Advanced Praise for Use the Words You Have... 
  'I love what this novel does with language... Read it like you'd eat a melting ice cream.'—Daisy Hildyard
  ‘A moving meditation on the capacity of language and love to shape us… saturated in sun and salt water, drenched in heat and longing.’—Jessica Andrews
  ‘Eroticism here is as much about discovering another’s body as it is about discovering the body through language. It’s Rimbaud, it’s Hélène Cixous, even a touch of Claudia Durastanti. But Campanello is entirely her own here.’—Jason Allen-Paisant
  ‘Composed in a delicate, aching space between nostalgia and desire, between the past and eternity, Use the Words You Have shimmers like light on a sea recollected across decades.’—Rob Doyle
  ‘It’s been a complete pleasure to read this… The restraint, clarity and precision of the writing is faultless.’—Joanna Walsh
