Was gold miner turned country headmaster Joseph Connor a hero or a villain? When Kate Grenville found a series of 19th century letters either praising him or condemning him, her curiosity was piqued. In ‘The Country Schoolmaster, A Mystery in 88 Letters’ she works her way through the letters trying to understand Connor and what was really happening back then. The book is a complex investigation in which Grenville brings us a fascinating slice of life in the bush in 1880 - floods, fires and poverty and suddenly the extra pressure of  having to send the kids to school.

The late Moya Costello has been described as a “ a luminous voice in Australian literature”. On the anniversary of Moya’s death Pink Shorts Press have decided to keep that voice alive and have re-released Moya’s 2000 novel ‘The Office as a Boat’. The story is set against a backdrop of a never-ending heatwave and is an amusing  account of claustrophobic office politics combined with a touch of magic realism. A quarter of a century after it first appeared it has a surprising relevance as current office life teeters on the verge of changing forever.

And just like that, an era comes to an end. ❤️

After 18 years of friendship, 11 years of Two Brunettes & A Gay and four years of live radio, we're signing off for one last time as the trio you know and love.

In our final episode, we're looking back on the memories, the madness, the laughter and the moments that made this journey so unforgettable.

There are stories to share, a few tears to shed and plenty of laughs along the way as we say goodbye to our beautiful Deanna, close one incredible chapter and look ahead to what's next.

One last show. Three best friends. A whole lot of love.

Thank you for being part of our story. ❤️

Lauren Williams’ novel "Neighbourhood Watch" is set in a fictional Melbourne suburb, and the plot features a murder bizarre enough to rival British TV favorite "Midsomer Murders". Among the scarecrows in the annual Scarecrow Competition is a real dead body, that of a judge. Justice is the theme and psychologist turned homicide detective Priyanka Pal finds herself up against corrupt and powerful men.
