'Just Human' by Angel Hellyer
to be released 15 Nov.
Available for pre-order (32 days until release)

Cover - Just Human - class room filled with fantasy people

Supernatural classmates, deadly mysteries, and homework.

No one knows how or why people became vampires, werewolves, banshees, pixies, elves, and more. Some woke up with wings or pointed ears, while others only discovered their transformation when they burst into flames under the sun or turned into werewolves on the next full moon. The world has shifted, and those left human have found themselves at the bottom of the social hierarchy.

Being a nerdy outcast was hard enough before this supernatural upheaval. Now, as a human in a school filled with "cool" Creatures, life is even more challenging. But just as things seem to settle, strange and dangerous events start occurring—more mysterious than their dad turning into a werewolf.

‘JUST HUMAN’ is a gripping tale of resilience, friendship, and the courage to stand out when everything around you changes.

Asparagus Grass by Adrian Deans

Cover - Asparagus Grass - solitary male standing against the universe

Mitch Kuiper works for the Council pulling out asparagus grass – a tough spiky weed that conquers entire suburbs. Mitch’s life is entirely normal until he meets two quirky young women with incredible secrets and, as Mitch is drawn into their worlds, finds his head exploding with the perils before him – a galactic war, in which he has just become a key player.

REVIEWS

'Kurt Vonnegut meets Jason Bourne. Another imaginative Adrian Deans rollercoaster ride on an extra-terrestrial scale’
Peter Goldsworthy AM, Author of ‘Maestro’ and ‘Honk If You Are Jesus’

Asparagus Grass catapults everyday life into an interstellar spectacle. With a beer-loving gardener as our unlikely hero, this tale weaves cosmic chaos with terrestrial toil, resulting in a narrative as gripping as it is hilarious.
Carola Schmidt (Reviewer and award-winning author)

If you enjoy science fiction and unconventional narratives, you'll find this book to be a delightful and captivating read.
Heather (BookGirlBrown Reviews)

A great binge read for someone who likes sci fi romance with a little conspiracy.
Jmortiff (The Book & Beverage Review – Youtube & Goodreads reviewer)

Good satire is rare these days so it’s a joy to find a book dealing with important social and political issues without ramming its preachy message down your throat. Add a cracking plot and you have a winner.

The White Pavilion (The Cosmic Winds #1) by Ruth Fox

Cover - The White Pavilion - steam-punk heroine with falling feather

When Imre falls during the Dance of a 1000 Steps, she is called before the Regent, certain she is to be punished. But the Regent is more than he seems, and on a planet that moves to the ticking of a clock, they must work together to save their world.

REVIEWS

'This book consumed me. I don't think I've ever read a proper steampunk novel before now, just seen the aesthetic and the stereotypes. I didn't find any of these things in The White Pavilion. Instead, I found a stunning world bursting at the seams with lore, a large but well-balanced and vibrant cast of characters, and a story so intricate and perfectly paced it's almost as if it was propelled by finely tuned gears instead of the human mind.'
Bethany Martin

'The White Pavilion is elevated into sheer brilliance because of its memorable protagonist and world building.'
Julie's A Bookworm

'The White Pavilion might just be one of my all-time favourite book... It is so unbelievably, perfectly, undeniably human, it makes me want to cry.'
The Writing Werewolf

'A fresh take on sci-fi fantasy with impeccable pacing'
Amayas Reads

'5 star read, gorgeous world building'
Ginger Book Lover

'There's political intrigue, espionage, robots ... and dancing'
The Reading Lobster

'It's creative and unique.'
