Going into self-publishing without this guide could be a big mistake.
This is a novel that, like Slessor’s poem, explores time, and the way in which it flows between and across character.
A foodie gift for kids that goes beyond the pages of the book.
The reader almost feels like these are personal, whispered revelations.
