In a near-future world ravaged by climate change, who will win in the struggle between humanity and nature?

A thick fog rolls in over Shivering Heights.

Ten lush and bracing linked climate fictions depict a world gorgeous and terrifying in its likeness to our own.

Summary:

Stranded in the Alaskan wilderness with a celebrity was not on my bingo card. Neither was sharing a tent with the cocky Australian actor who enjoys pushing my buttons.

As a New York trauma nurse, Im no stranger to chaos. Stress. Burnout. This trip was supposed to be my escape from all that. I desperately needed these two weeks in the Far North to clear my head so I can make a decision about the promotion I was offered. Somehow, Ive lost sight of my goals, and Im not entirely sure I know what I want anymore.

So, when I booked a room at a remote lodge, I expected silence and tranquility. Fresh air and peace. The time and space to think. Instead, I got THE Wes Emerson.

I try to keep my distance, but its a lost cause when a tundra excursion goes awry, and fates warped sense of humor throws us together.

Now Im stuck in the Arctic with a bronzed surfer dude who thinks his charm can win me over.

Well, the joke is on him. I couldnt care less about his insanely blue eyes and big muscles. Im not interested in his gorgeous smile or the way my heart flutters when he looks at me. And I definitely dont give a damn about his panty-melting Aussie accent. Nope. Dont care. Especially since its clear how much he loves getting under my skin.

Except, even when he riles me up, Wes is infuriatingly charismatic. Thoughtful. Attentive. All the things my ex wasnt. No matter how much I want to believe his flirting is genuine, Im not stupid. Lets be real, hes way out of my league, and Ill be an afterthought as soon as this vacation is over.

When Mother Nature steps in, Wes and I quickly discover why Alaska is nicknamed the Last Frontier.

Now I have no choice but to trust him.

True North is book 1 of 2 in the True North Duet. It's a steamy, celebrity adventure romance.

Title: On the Way to Casa Lotus: A Memoir of Family, Art, Injury, and Forgiveness

Author: Lorena Junco Margain

Narrator: Lorena Junco Margain

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:22:33

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-21

Publisher: ONE Audiobooks

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Health & Wellness, Women's Health

Summary:

Lorena Junco Margain—passionate art collector and devoted wife and mother—is already shaken after abruptly fleeing Mexico and relocating in the USA with her family while pregnant due concerns for their safety. Then, she learns she has a tumor on her adrenal gland. Having long experienced unexplained symptoms of dizziness and lethargy that neither medications nor holistic or Ayurvedic treatments have helped, she embraces the news with tears of relief: with a simple surgery, she can regain her strength and joyful spirit. But fate can be mischievous, and to err is human—even for surgeons. Rather than improve after surgery, her condition worsens. 

On the Way to Casa Lotus is the gripping true story of Junco Margain’s journey coming to terms with the permanent consequences of a surgeon’s devastating mistake. Mindful that even good people make errors and that vengeance would not mend her broken body or soul, she chooses instead to embark on a quest for peace and healing—beginning by seeking space in her heart to forgive. 

Deeply compassionate, wise and poetic, On the Way to Casa Lotus lays bare some of the most poignant contradictions of the human condition, blurring the distinctions between guilt and neglectfulness, anger and sorrow, humility and shame, gratitude and despair. Rich with imagery and metaphors from the world of contemporary art, brimming with scenes from the author’s close-knit, abundantly loving Mexican family, the book plants a seed of hope that loss and pain can serve a higher purpose: one of promoting forgiveness as a force for personal and universal change.

Title: Unsheltered

Author: Clare Moleta

Narrator: Lisa Bailey

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:35:59

Language: English

Release date: 05-05-21

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Australia

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction

Summary:

As the resourceful, relentless Li tracks her lost daughter across a disintegrating country, the journey will test the limits of her trust, her hope and her love. Unsheltered will leave you wrung out and gasping.

Shortlisted for the 2022 Margaret and Colin Roderick Award

The New Zealand Herald's best New Zealand books of the 21st century

Relentlessly propulsive and profoundly moving, Unsheltered taps into some of our worst fears and most implacable motivations, marking the emergence of a fully-formed and urgent literary voice.

Against a background of social breakdown and destructive weather, Unsheltered tells the story of a woman’s search for her daughter. Li never wanted to bring a child into a world like this but now that eight-year-old Matti is missing, she will stop at nothing to find her.

As she crosses the great barren country alone and on foot, living on what she can find and fuelled by visions of her daughter just out of sight ahead, Li will have every instinct tested. She knows the odds against her: an uncompromising landscape, an indifferent system, time running out, and the risks of any encounters on the road. But the greatest obstacles of all might be her own uncertainty and the ghosts of her past. Because even if she finds her, how can she hope to shield Matti from what is to come?

At times tender, at times terrifying, Unsheltered is an engrossing, unpredictable novel that keeps the reader in suspense all the way to the end. A brilliant feat of imagination that asks if our humanity is the only protection we have left, Unsheltered will affect you in ways a book hasn’t done in years.

'Unsheltered reads like a thriller, is utterly convincing in all its invention, and kept a hard hold of me from beginning to end.' Elizabeth Knox

'Li is an unforgettable character, whose scars are as compelling as her extraordinary resourcefulness - she powers an urgent, heart-stopping novel.' Emily Perkins

'Unsheltered is a fist-clenching, breath-holding, heart-accelerating reading experience. Clare Moleta writes with clarity and force, conjuring a terrifyingly real world of environmental desolation and bureaucratic mercilessness, but also, vitally, one in which empathy, love and hope stubbornly persist. In temperamentally tenacious and teeth-grittingly tough Li, Moleta has created a heroine who is utterly believable in both her ambivalence about becoming a parent and in her single-minded determination to keep that child safe.' Emily Maguire

​‘Outstanding. One of those novels that takes you by the scruff of your neck and drops you straight in … You will grip this thread until your palms bleed.’ Debra Adelaide, Australian Book Review

‘A tour-de-force … superb.’ Julia Jackson, Readings

Title: Axiomatic

Author: Maria Tumarkin

Narrator: Maria Tumarkin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:29:13

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-21

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Essays & Anthologies

Summary:

The past shapes the present-they teach us that in schools and universities. (Shapes? Infiltrates, more like; imbues, infuses.) This past cannot be visited like an ageing aunt. It doesn't live in little zoo enclosures. Half the time, this past is nothing less than the beating heart of the present. So, how to speak of the searing, unpindownable power that the past-ours, our family's, our culture's-wields in the present?

Stories are not enough, even though they are essential. And books about history, books of psychology-the best of them take us closer, but still not close enough. Maria Tumarkin's Axiomatic is a boundary-shifting fusion of thinking, storytelling, reportage and meditation. It takes as its starting point five axioms: 'Time Heals All Wounds'; 'History Repeats Itself.'; 'Those Who Forget the Past are Condemned to Repeat It'; 'Give Me a Child Before the Age of Seven and I'll Give You the Woman'; and 'You Can't Enter The Same River Twice.'

These beliefs-or intuitions-about the role the past plays in our present are often evoked as if they are timeless and self-evident truths. It is precisely because they are neither, yet still we are persuaded by them, that they tell us a great deal about the forces that shape our culture and the way we live.

Publisher: Penguin Random House Australia Audio

Summary:

'Australian crime fiction has just found an exciting new voice.' Marie Claire

On the evening of September 22, 1998, three teenage girls venture out for a night of mischief in the coastal town of Blairgowrie. But only two return . . .

For over twenty years the disappearance of fifteen-year-old Cecilia May remains a baffling cold case - until human bones are discovered on an isolated beach.

Now it's up to Detective Emmett Corban and his team to dig up decades of trauma, and find the missing piece of an investigation that's as complex as it is tragic.

Does the answer lie with the only suspect, a registered sex offender who confessed, then immediately provided a rock-solid alibi? Or with the two teen survivors - neither of whom can keep their story straight?

But the police aren't the only ones hunting for the truth: someone else has arrived in the seaside town. And she's prepared to do whatever it takes to find her own version of justice.

'A strong debut that marks Firkin out as a writer to watch out for.' Canberra Weekly on Sticks and Stones

'A gritty police procedural . . . hopefully this is the start of a great new series.' New Idea on Sticks and Stones

'This twisted and thrilling novel is a must-read for any fan of true crime.' Stellar Magazine on Sticks and Stones
