Police Surgeon
In Police Surgeon, Jennifer Gray weaves a lifetime of observations into poetry, drawing from her experiences as a doctor, forensic examiner, and keen observer of everyday life.
Her poems move effortlessly between the deeply personal and the universal, capturing moments of quiet beauty, profound sorrow, and unwavering resilience. From the solemnity of a crime scene to the delicate act of nurturing nature, from the lingering scent of lilacs to the devastation in Haiti, Gray’s verse is unflinchingly honest.
At times meditative, at times sharp and visceral, her poetry explores faith, memory, and the fleeting nature of life with striking clarity and compassion. A poignant and powerful collection that invites readers to reflect on the depths of human experience.

Immortalaeism III
I have devised the Way of Heroism, and in this text, I illustrate how the Immortal integrates himself into the Spiritualism of Immortalaeism and what transpires if he succeeds. Contra is a term I use throughout the series, meaning to oppose or conflict.
In this book, the Immortalaeist emerges as a hero who comprehends both his immortality and the spirit of fighting. Having left the world behind, the hero embarks on a journey as a Street Fighter, seeking to understand himself. For him, self-discovery is the only path to reclaim what is rightfully his in the world.
The spirituality of the Immortalae – practitioners of Immortalaeism – is deeply examined, as the hero comes to understand his connection to creation and his spiritual identity. Armed with a full arsenal of spiritual principles and requirements to embody the Immortalae, he prepares for the ultimate challenge: the Night of Inhibition. Through this journey, he finds his spirituality in both immortality and the spirit of fighting.
The Contra series (I, II, III, and IV) is designed to prepare the Immortalae for a life of heroism and spiritual excellence, charting a path toward self-realization and ultimate triumph.

Thunder over the Desert
Filmmakers and footsloggers!
It’s not often you hear these two words together, but they perfectly capture the story of Australia’s film industry revealed in this compelling book. Since the early 20th century, Australia’s local screen industry has fought a fierce battle against the overwhelming dominance of Hollywood, striving to keep homegrown feature films on Australian cinema screens.
This is a story of resilience and cultural pride, where the struggles of the nation’s filmmakers have been metaphorically aligned with the heroic narrative of the Anzac soldier. Much like the first Anzacs at Gallipoli – heroes even in the face of devastating defeat – Australia’s cinema has a celebrated history of seeing itself as valiant, even when the odds were stacked against it.
Peter Mageros delves into the deep historical connections between myth and cinema, exploring how filmmakers such as Longford, Chauvel, Weir, and Beresford have drawn inspiration from the iconic images of the Diggers on screen. The book reveals how the theme of the ‘heroic film industry’ persists in contemporary times, with Australian filmmakers portrayed as ‘going into the trenches’ alongside the legendary soldiers.
This is a story of true heroism – not always one of triumphant conquest, but of unwavering determination to protect and preserve a uniquely Australian cinematic voice.
