  Growing up Cantonese in the racist outer suburbs was hard enough for Jess Ho, but add in a dysfunctional family who only made peace over food, and it was clear that a normal life was never on the menu. Jess emerged from childhood with a major psychological complex and a kick-arse palate, traits that would help them fit right in to the messy world of Melbourne’s food scene. 
   
  In hospitality, Jess found a new family of outsiders who shared their lust for life and appetite for destruction. As the Australian food scene exploded, fuelled by the kinds of ‘exotic’ foods Jess had grown up on, they became one of the most influential voices in Australia’s bar and restaurant scene. But the industry Jess loved had its own dysfunctions: greed, ego, sexual harassment, exploitation and a never-ending fetishisation of Asian food culture. And Jess wasn’t one to hold their tongue. 
   
  Raised by Wolves is a fierce, funny and razor-sharp coming of age story from a savage new voice. 
   
  ‘Jess Ho’s Raised by Wolves is a cutting memoir full of joy and tragedy. This is a life in the Melbourne hospitality industry that deserves a place on your shelf’. JASON STEGER, The Booklist

  What if the greatest act of love… was letting go? 
  Because I Loved You is a breathtaking memoir that begins as a once-in-a-lifetime love story and transforms into a courageous, heart-wrenching journey through terminal illness and the powerful, legal choice to die with dignity in California. 
  When Stephanie met Jeff, during a chance encounter, their connection was immediate, electric, and undeniable. They built a life full of laughter, dreams, and quiet mornings together — until a diagnosis changed everything. Faced with the cruel reality of a terminal illness, they found themselves confronting the unimaginable: how to say goodbye with grace, intention, and love. 
  This book is not just about death, it's about life. About what it means to stand beside the person you love most as they choose how they leave this world. It's about honoring their wishes, navigating heartbreak, and finding the strength to begin again when the person you thought you'd grow old with is gone. Through sharing their story, with Jeff’s blessing, she aims to open dialogue around the taboo-topic of dying with dignity while offering hope, awareness, and inspiration in the face of one of life’s most difficult choices. 
  Raw, vulnerable, and deeply human, Because I Loved You invites you into the sacred space between love and loss, courage and surrender, holding on and letting go. For anyone who has ever been a caregiver, lost someone too soon, or faced the ache of goodbye, this story will hold your heart and remind you: you can grieve and still choose joy. You can love and still release. You can lose someone and still find your way home.

  Boobs

  Breasts are celebrated and scrutinised, fetishised and censored, worshipped and weaponised. As the saying goes: ‘Behind every great woman is a pair of boobs trying desperately to stay out of the conversation.’ 
   
  For most of her life, unconcernedly flat-chested author and academic Dr Lisa Portolan had never really thought about her breasts, or boobs in general. But then she met Amanda Goff - aka former escort Samantha X - fellow author, journalist and owner of a huge pair of breasts. A friendship formed, then a working relationship ... and as the two women embarked on business dealings together, the monolithic power of mammary glands became glaringly apparent.  
   
  All too often, men would ogle Amanda's chest in meetings, text her romantic/perverse messages, and try to get into her pants. The same men would focus their attention on Lisa's face, send her professional emails, and otherwise ignore her. Lisa was left pondering whether she should have her breasts augmented in order to become more visible, while Amanda wondered whether she should have hers reduced.  
   
  But they both found themselves asking the same question: why all the fuss about boobs? 
   
  Lisa and Amanda don't pretend to have all the answers - they're not even sure how they feel about them most of the time. But that's precisely the point. Boobs is a smart, irreverent, wide-ranging and often hilarious conversation about the human and social-historical journey of breasts, richly illustrated with personal anecdotes and perspectives from coauthors at opposite ends of the bust spectrum.  
   
  With its eclectic mix of chest-related topics - from our fixation with symmetry to the judgy debates about breastfeeding - Boobs celebrates our messy, often ridiculous and always complex relationship with these culturally charged appendages.
