  Hello, my name is Charly and I am code-dependent, so would you please, please just validate me?  
  From the bestselling author of She Must Be Mad comes Charly Cox’s second collection of poetry and prose. 
  This is an account of a life lived online. Swiping for approval. Scrolling for gratification. Searching for connection. From the glow of a screen in the middle of the night, to the harsh glare of the hospital waiting room, Validate Me is a raw and honest look at the highs and the lows of a digital life. 
  The new voice of a generation, Charly’s words have the power to make us all feel less alone. 
  In Validate Me, Charly Cox, a top English author, explores the profound themes of loss and grief. Her exploration of these subjects provides a stark contrast to the superficiality of the digital world, making her work a must-read for the modern generation. 
  For fans of Nora Ephron (I Feel Bad About My Neck), Patti Smith (Just Kids), Zadie Smith (Intimations), Rachel Long (My Darling from the Lions), and Amanda Lovelace (the princess saves herself in this one…).

  Shaun Hill's debut poetry collection,warm blooded things is a radical and intimate encounter with boyhood, sexuality, and violence, love, desire and solitude. Wandering the nocturnal city streets, through random encounters, co-opting space and capturing conversations in a multitude of voices, this collection evokes alienation whilst longing for tenderness.
  Hill's agile poems are alive to fear, loss and danger. The poems also explore a uniquely queer archive of time and place, the legacy of AIDS, and draw strength from giving voice to unheard histories. Seeking sanctuary and alternatives to a capitalist reality, these precise poems gesture towards hope, survival and the necessity to be responsible for one another.
  "Shaun Hill is one of my favourite performers, his poems charged with vulnerability and raw intimacy. Now warm blooded things offers us this same tender gift."– Liz Berry

  ‘Peter Yeldham’s historical fiction pedigree is one of the best in the country.’ - SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 
  Luke Elliott and Claudia Marsden have fallen in love at a perilous time. The Second World War is raging in the Pacific, barbed wire and gun emplacements are strung along Sydney's northern beaches in preparation for invasion. As the war moves closer, their ‘sextet’ of loyal school friends is splintering as individual career dreams are pursued. Luke yearns to be a writer, but a start in journalism is proving challenging. The war’s end unexpectedly provides Luke’s big break, but the pursuit of his dream will keep him away from Australia and Claudia, with surprising consequences for them both. 
  “Above The Fold is a big-hearted novel that explicitly examines notions of love and loyalty … Anyone who enjoys reading about post-war Australian history and the attitudes that informed much of it, will be delighted.” - GABRIELLE LORD, AUTHOR OF DISHONOUR 
  “Written with meticulous detail, this is an engaging story spanning a tumultuous period in Australian history.”

  Westminster Memorials – Volume 2 – An introduction.  Westminster Abbey has seen much during its long, rich history; the coronations of Kings and Queens, the burials of Prime ministers. However it is also a church that remembers the men and women of the arts.  Dedicated writers and poets who spoke so eloquently that the Nation wished to remember them with plaques upon its walls so that all who travelled here could remember too.  Their works are worth remembering and here, in these volumes, their wise words speak too and for us all.  In Volume 2 we collect together John Clare to DH Lawrence.
