Devil Mountain #author Inessa Jackson

When Detective Sergeant Anastasia Brown is sent to investigate a grizzly murder in a small New South Wales town, she welcomes the chance to run from heartbreak and humiliation. But she quickly discovers that this is no ordinary murder. The body of a popular doctor has been found on the mountain, chained and burned, with arcane ­symbols carved into the soles of his feet – and the boy who found him swears he saw a ghost lingering in the trees. Is this a clever killer with a flair for the macabre? Or the work of an elusive Wiccan coven that worships on the mountain? Or, even stranger, are the local murmurs of the mountain being haunted more than just folklore?  As the investigation grows ever murkier, Ana realises that everyone in town has a secret … and some are deadly.

Conscious Footsteps #author Dion Elliott Jensen

Conscious Footsteps An unravelling.  A return to self. A walk back to truth. On paper, Dion Elliott Jensen had built a life many would envy. A successful career. Financial security. A young family. A clear sense of who he was and where he was going. He had the job, the money and the life he thought he wanted. Then he lost it all — and realised none of it was really him. Then, in a single moment, it all disappeared. His debut book, Conscious Footsteps, is structured as a series of reflective ‘walks’ exploring masculinity, fear, fatherhood, estrangement, love and the painful process of rebuilding a life after identity collapse. ‘This is not a manual. You won’t find checklists or ten-step formulas here. Just one life. One story. An unfolding journey through the edges and depths of being human.’ To connect with Dion .... https://consciousfootsteps.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dionelliottjensen

Unspoken #author Denise Fletcher

In the final week before a federal election, political adviser Francis McGuire is tasked with one job: launching the Opposition’s flagship health policy. Every detail is in place. Until the party’s ruthless campaign strategist decides to sabotage it. When his plan backfires, Francis is made the scapegoat. Publicly shamed and hunted by the press, she flees to a small town on Western Australia’s south coast ― the same place she escaped after her father’s fatal car accident years earlier. But what awaits her is far more dangerous than political betrayal: organised crime; corruption reaching the highest office in the land; a coldblooded contest for power and control; and a murder that threatens to fracture the nation itself. As enemies close in, Francis must decide how much she’s willing to risk to expose the truth. Can she do that – or will the truth remain Unspoken?

Walk in the Spirit #author Everald Compton

Walk in the Spirit: A page turning novel of people who walk with the Man Drawing on a lifetime of experience, Everald Compton AO and Neill Florence offer a novel grounded in compassion, humility, and the belief that our capacity to do good is not measured by religion or doctrine, but by how we treat one another and contribute to our communities. Set in contemporary Australiam the novel follows people from different walks of life as they navigate belief, doubt, interfaith friendship, and service — a true reflection of Australia's proud multicultural society. It asks poignant questions about religion beyond fear and punishment, and about how spiritual values can be lived honestly in a modern world for the benefit of our shared culture. This is not a sermon, not a conventional thriller. It is a calm, generous novel that invites reflection and conversation — particularly for readers questioning institutional religion while still seeking meaning, purpose, and connection. Walk in the Spirit is a story of our time, shaped by nearlu two hundred years of lived experience, and guided by the enduring conviction that a more compassionate world begins with how we choose to walk with others.
