An adventure/ fantasy novel for readers from 8 to adult

Ten year old Wallace Emmet Keyes has so many problems he doesn't know which way to turn. Everyone at the new schoool makes fun of him. His cousins can't stand him. For the last month he's lived with Aunty Jay, Raa and Raiona in a tiny flat in the city instead of at home with his parents. But these are distractions from the big problem: both his mother and father have run away from home. Becoming tough might fix some of his problems, but it's not until Wallace meets the mysterious Zillah that things change. Why does she know all about him? Why has he never met her before? Why does she want him to live up to all his names, and strangest of all, why does Zillah trick Wallace into falling in the harbour near her odd house?
Zillah introduces Wallace to an unknown side of his family, and to a fabulous, hidden ability that matches all his dreams. Soon Wallace and his newly found cousin Eartha embark on a desperate adventure to find his parents - and answer Wallace's questions.

IFWG Publishing Australia 2016

An adventure/ fantasy story for high school aged readers to adults

Ivan wants to get away from his boring life and the small town where he lives. One afternoon he unexpectedly finds himself in a place where everything is disturbingly the same, and yet unnervingly different. Cassie thinks Ivan is clueless, while he thinks she's the prettiest - and most annoying - girl he's ever met. Meanwhile the sensitive Reenie and the enigmatic Phil have other complications to untangle. Ivan, Cassie, Reenie and Phil will have to do a lot of thinking, motorbike riding and taking the unexpected in their stride, and will need to draw on courage they didn't know they had, before they can find what is lost and get to where they want to be.
