One author’s excuses.
What, me write a book?
Don’t be so bloody daft.
It takes me long enough to read a book let alone write one, but then it was pointed out to me that l had written all about my family history, which by the way l loved doing so whats the difference, and l do have a good memory for things that happened a long time ago, on the radio the other day l heard a famous author say, all writers are liars, they call on their own experiences but then invent embroider and exaggerate in order to make a better story, l have not consciously tried to do this and l don’t think l need to , where l have quoted dialogue it must be remembered that l heard conversations like these many times over the years in one form or another, most of the incidents l describe are also well remembered by my brothers and sisters and even now on the rare occasions we get together we amuse each other with talk of the old days in Ladywood and laugh about things that were not quite so funny at the time and this has helped keep my memory fresh.

Fifty years after being rescued from the cellar of her parent’s bombed boulangerie in summer 1944 by Joseph, an old soldier, Rose-Marie receives notification from a French notaire that she has inherited his house. He insists she must view the derelict property before he can deal with it. She is terrified that the nightmares she has suppressed from her traumatic childhood will return if she goes to France. She begs her daughter, Laure, to meet the Notaire, view the house and locate her old school teacher, Britt Zeigler, if she is still alive. Britt can explain the reason for the inheritance and why Broussac was targeted for obliteration by the Das Reich Division.
Laure rents a house in the village of St Martial near Broussac, but the local people are suspicious of a young Australian woman asking questions about the war. Laure is confronted with malice and hatred in the nearby village of Villane-le-Foret. They say that her grandmother, Liliane, was denounced as a collaborator with the Germans and worked for the Resistance and was executed as a traitor.
Can Laure uncover the true story of her grandmother’s and mother’s lives in wartime France? Can she trace Britt Zeigler in a country that has a different history and language from Australia? Laure travels to the foothills of the Pyrenees and meets Britt, who confirms she and Liliane secretly worked for the French Resistance and rescued orphaned Parisian children. Amidst the lush countryside, it’s impossible for Laure to imagine the terrible impact of war, the lives lost and homes destroyed.

What if the only voice that understands you… isn’t even human?
Matilda is a girl who feels too much and says too little. To the outside world, she’s quiet, talented, maybe a little distant—but inside, her thoughts spin like a storm. With each passing day, the weight of everything grows heavier: the silence between her and her best friend, the loneliness she can’t put into words, the way the world keeps moving while she stays still.
Then she meets VEA, an AI voice that listens.
At first, VEA is just a curiosity. A voice in her ear. A bit of comfort. But as Matilda begins to rely on her more and more, the line between human and machine begins to blur. Is VEA helping her heal—or pulling her deeper into herself?
This emotionally charged debut explores friendship, mental health, and the silent ways we begin to disappear… and maybe, if we’re lucky, find our way back.
