When social worker Ant discovers Currah, a young indigenous girl with a horrific past, he’s certain he’s found the way to make a difference.
When literary agent extraordinaire Ronnie Lowe discovers Currah, she’s certain she’s found marketing gold.
Now Currah’s got the world at her feet, an army of fans and isn’t returning any of Ant’s calls. Finding himself flung aside, Ant will do anything to be part of the spotlight.
Inspired by the recent spate of fabricated “misery memoirs”,
A Hoax
is a vicious satire on the politics of identity, modern celebrity and the peddling of abuse culture.

Moth
Explores themes of friendship, bullying, mental illness, and the hierachy of the schoolyard. Sebastian is a terminally unpopular fifteen-year-old suburban kid, with an overactive imagination and an obsession with anime and death. His only friend, Claryssa, is an emo Wiccan art-freak barely one rung higher than Sebastian on the social ladder. What starts as just another night drinking down at the cricket nets soon gives way to an ecstatic vision that leaves Sebastian unconscious, their friendship left in ruin.

Sam and Kelly live out west. They spend their lives waiting for texts, for boyfriends and those bitches in Year Ten to leave school so they can have somewhere decent to hang. But the longest wait is till the end of school, and waiting can be deadly.
Bored one recess and with double maths looming, the girls escape through the hole in the fence. Hang out at the truck stop on the highway at the picnic table with the flies. Read graffiti. Talk about sex, prostitutes, Lady Gaga.
When a truck pulls up. Their hearts race. The truckie’s kind of young. And hot.
Sam issues Kelly a dare...
