Summary:

The author of this book is a sex worker.

Let’s call her Eve.

Eve is someone’s partner. Someone’s mother.

'It is heartening to find humour and a glimmer of hope' - Jo Brand

'Unflinching . . . Everyone should read this book' - Emily Edwards, author of The Herd

The author of How Was It for You? has worked across the sex industry for twenty years: in a brothel, as an escort, in a strip club, online and as a dominatrix. In this candid memoir she reveals all: the good stuff, the bad, and the downright ugly.

We lie with her poolside as she visits wealthy clients at their Caribbean villas. We watch from the public gallery as she is dragged in and out of court by the law. We perch at her side in a cell as she contemplates the true meaning of freedom. And we’re with her as she discovers she's pregnant and her body is given another job to do: growing and giving birth to a baby.

Honest, eye-opening, full of fury and frequently funny, How Was It for You? will give you a unique insight into what’s happening in society’s shadows. It is an unforgettable walk in someone else’s high heels.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9:17:00

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-24

Publisher: W.F. Howes

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Suspense

Summary:

In the latest Robicheaux novel, Clete Purcel - veteran, private investigator, and former New Orleans cop - takes centre stage for the first time.

Clete Purcel - private investigator, ex-member of the New Orleans Police Department, and war veteran with a hard shell and just a few soft spots - is Dave Robicheaux's longtime friend and partner in detective work. But he has a troubled past.

When Clete leaves his car at the local car wash, only to return to find it ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade from Mexican cartels to Louisiana, it feels personal - his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose, and his fists curl when he thinks of the dealers who sold it.

Just as Clete starts to trail the culprits, Clara Bow hires Clete as a detective to investigate her scheming, slippery ex-husband, and a string of brutal deaths all link back to a heavily tattooed man who seems to lurk around every corner. Clete is experiencing shockingly lifelike hallucinations and questioning Clara's ulterior motives when he and Dave start to hear rumors of a dangerous substance with potentially catastrophic effects. The thugs who destroyed his car might have been pawns in a scheme far darker than they could've imagined.

Gripping, violent, yet interlaced with Clete's humor and consistent drive to protect those he loves, Clete brings a fresh perspective to a truly iconic series.

Title: Benang: From the Heart

Author: Kim Scott

Narrator: Gregory Fryer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:19:55

Language: English

Release date: 06-12-24

Publisher: Wavesound Audiobooks

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction

Summary:

Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award, Winner of the Western Australian Premier's Book Award, Winner of the Kate Challis RAKA Award.

Harley, a man of Nyoongar ancestry, finds himself at a difficult point in the history of his country, family and self. As the apparently successful outcome of his white grandfather's enthusiastic attempts to isolate and breed the first white man born', he wants to be a failure. But would such failure mean his Nyoongar ancestors could label him a success? And how can the attempted genocide represented by his family history be told?

Oceanic in its rhythms and understanding, brilliant in its use of language and image, moving in its largeness of spirit, compelling in its narrative scope and style, Benang is a novel of celebration and lament, of beginning and return, of obliteration and recovery, of silencing and of powerful utterance. Both tentative and daring, it speaks to the present and a possible future through stories, dreams, rhythms, songs, images and documents mobilised from the incompletely acknowledged and still dynamic past.

Benang is brilliant. It is a mature, complex, sweeping historical novel which will remind people of Rushdie, Carey and Grenville at their best. This is an absolute page turner and in the end we are left with a sense of joy and gratitude that such stories are still possible that the silence has been broken.' Sydney Morning Herald

Benang soars to the level of superb storytelling with an emotional punch to the guts, not unlike Toni Morrison's Beloved.' Weekend Australian

Haunting and poignant, Benang pierces the heart even as it seeks to lance the savage bleeding of the wounds of white settlement in Australia.' Canberra Times

Title: Hope, Beauty and Friendship

Author: John Angus Walker-Smith

Narrator: John Angus Walker-Smith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1:03:24

Language: English

Release date: 06-11-24

Publisher: Findaway Voices

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

This selection of poems by a new author was triggered by the tragic death of his 28-year-old daughter. So the collection begins with loss and the aftermath of loss: the hope of the author that his daughter and he may be reunited in the life to come. This hope underlies many of the poems. This is clearly articulated in Osler and Son, where a father grieves for loss of his son in World War I but in a stoical, unexpressed manner.

The author records his childhood experience of emotions being held back in Boys Dont Cry John. While some poems look back, most are contemporary, such as those inspired by the lockdown and the Ukraine War.

The author advocates expression of feelings. This is powerfully expressed in relation to his experience of Friendship, both past and present. Transcendental beauty is a theme in the metaphysical poems The Colour Blue and Roman Glass.

However, each poem is unique. Many of them speak from the heart and have an emotional impact. The author hopes that these will resonate with readers.
