On the Beach—The year is 1978 in fictional Pontoon Bay. Vronegg Obrist's silence on what she saw from the upstairs balcony… returns a year later. Cradle Promise reveals a divisive cultural clash in the Naraka home. Stilled Heart confronts the impact of war on the lives of Hans, Ingrid, and baby Lara, in a small, friendly town. Adrift is Mai's woeful escape to America. Moving On is Anqui's brave desire to bring change to the ancient traditions of his clan. Dreams and visions in Wandering the Earth is the spine-chilling tale of Jacob, messenger of an old truth. The Call of The Outback, set in Australia, follows retired Inspector Donovan to his hometown, where a long-forgotten crime resurfaces. Oceans Away is an uncanny account of a series of events in the life of a writer, in search of her muse. Final View is a nostalgic, pragmatic and humorous reflection of life as a glamorous mortician. Those Were the Days charts the shenanigans of a group of university students who pass through the gates of deception, revelation, and loss of innocence.
