Firstly, a little about Kindle Unlimited. Did you know that you can now get a 30 day free-trial as a subscriber? Which means you can purchase any book during that time for FREE. You may already do this, however, as with Streaming Channels you subscribe for 30 days and cancel when the time is up or before. 30 days, that’s a whole month, to read some great stories!

The Last Asbestos Town: Follow Isaac and May through some precarious scenes who try to avoid the Asbestos Task Force taking their home, a Girl Guide Hall.

Set among the old growth forests of the South West, The Last Asbestos Town is about survival. The Grey Shirts (with their guns) have arrived in this little farming town where each of the locals who live/own an asbestos house have received their fateful letter.

The world has changed for Isaac & May once leaving the city to make their life in the country now find they have this problem weighing them down. Other problems arise like finding out that the Girl Guide Hall is haunted. A ghost named Cheryl lives among them. What is worse? A paranormal threat from a murdered girl once found dead in their locker room or losing their home completely to the authorities?

The Ozone Cafe: At its heart this book is about corruption and theft. It is also about ordinary people who have built their life within the cafe, working hard to make a living, surviving during the many long hours it takes to run a business.

Three separate owners beginning with Vincenzo Polamo, secondly Joe Pendlebury and the final third owners the Lazaridis’ brothers have made this sixties cafe work until the city council has other ideas of taking this prime beach real estate by corrupt and devious means.

The collapse happens at the end, but before that: Vincenzo Polamo designs a mural on an outside wall for his three small customers [kids], someone goes missing, and there’s a big, beautiful Greek wedding!

Thank you always to my followers, friends, family and for your kind comments and likes. I hope that you’ll be enjoying the new season ahead. Fall/Autumn in the north and Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere. I’m so looking forward to warmer weather and sunshine!

I hope you’re enjoying your day, the change in meals ahead, and that you will find a quiet corner with some great stories waiting for you.
