The Bad Day Playbook #author Gayle Smerdon

THE BAD DAY PLAYBOOK: What to do when everything sucks Bad Days happen. The trick is not to pretend they don't, but to have a plan when they do. The Bad Day Playbook is your calm companion and usable game plan for those times when life flattens your spirit. It helps you notice when you're slipping into the spiral, take gentle control, and make small, meaningful shifts that bring you back to centre. Dr Gayle Smerdon shows how a little awareness and a few deliberate actions can change the shape of a shitty day. Once you've found your footing again, you can start to see bad days differently - as messengers, not mistakes. You don't have to be perfect. You just need a way through. This is your gentle guide for the days that suck, your reminder that you're still in charge of what happens next and that you are far more capable than you give yourself credit for.

The LineUp #author Nicholas Timms

A killer on the loose. A surfer out of his depth ... Bo Curren was once a champion surfer. Now, at twenty-eight, he’s all washed up – unable even to set foot near the ocean. Instead, he spends his days alone in his apartment, drowning his sorrows in whiskey and watching surfers on his laptop via the 24-hour surf webcam. Then one day he sees something he shouldn’t. A camera trained on a deserted Byron Bay beach picks up a murder right there on the sand. The police dismiss his report, and no bodies are found. Yet Bo knows what he saw. And he has a clue: the murderer’s distinctive surfboard. If he can track that down, he’ll catch the killer. But is he ready to dive back into a world where the rules are unspoken, outsiders aren’t welcome, and where secrets can be as dangerous as the waves? Author Nicholas Timms ... a mystery writer and lifelong surfer. Raised in Byron Bay, he spent his teenage years competing in boardriders comps and honing his writing.
