The secret to saving the universe, lies in the dark places amongst the stars. Elemental Eloise Hart has made the isolated town of Solace, Outback Australia, her home, but an ancient power threatens to tear it away. With their home falling further into desolation by the hour, Eloise knows she’s running out of time. The seal holding back the tide is failing and there is nothing they can do to stop it. To find answers, she must travel with Kyne deep into the remote Pilbara and face the creatures who created them—the elementals—where the secrets revealed will either win the day, or end it once and for all. Only one thing is certain. If they fail, then everything that ever was or will be, will cease to exist. Sunset Dreaming is the fifth novel in the Australian Supernatural: Origins series. Myth, magic, and ancient souls collide in this thrilling finale. When the sun sets, will it be on the death of an entire reality… or the rebirth of a new one?

Finding the doctor’s happy-ever-after—in Hawaii! Dr Amber Shaw has packed her bags, put her broken heart behind her, and come to Hawaii to take care of a wealthy patient. Once there, she soon falls under the island’s tropical spell, but she is determined to resist her patient’s infuriating yet handsome nephew, Dr Ethan Brookes! Guarded Ethan has his own reasons for keeping his distance—reasons he finds hard to remember whenever he sees Amber’s warm smile. And, strolling with her hand in hand along a deserted moonlit beach, he knows this is the perfect moment to say those four little words: "Will you marry me?"

From Muddy Waters to Mick Jagger, Elvis to Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley to Justin Timberlake, masculinity in popular music has been an issue explored by performers, critics, and audiences. From the dominance of the blues singer over his "woman" to the sensitive singer/songwriter, popular music artists have adopted various gendered personae in a search for new forms of expression. Sometimes these roles shift as the singer ages, attitudes change, or new challenges on the pop scene arise; other times, the persona hardens into a shell-like mask that the performer struggles to escape. Oh Boy! Masculinities and Popular Music is the first serious study of how forms of masculinity are negotiated, constructed, represented and addressed across a range of popular music texts and practices. Written by a group of internationally recognized popular music scholars—including Sheila Whiteley, Richard Middleton, and Judith Halberstam—these essays study the concept of masculinity in performance and appearance, and how both male and female artists have engaged with notions of masculinity in popular music.

The European maritime explorers who first visited the bays and beaches of Australia brought with them diverse assumptions about the inhabitants of the country, most of them based on sketchy or non-existent knowledge, contemporary theories like the idea of the noble savage, and an automatic belief in the superiority of European civilisation. Mutual misunderstanding was almost universal, whether it resulted in violence or apparently friendly transactions. Written for a general audience, The First Wave brings together a variety of contributions from thought-provoking writers, including both original research and creative work. Our contributors explore the dynamics of these early encounters, from Indigenous cosmological perspectives and European history of ideas, from representations in art and literature to the role of animals, food and fire in mediating first contact encounters, and Indigenous agency in exploration and shipwrecks. The First Wave includes poetry by Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal poet Ali Cobby Eckermann, fiction by Miles Franklin award-winning Noongar author Kim Scott and Danielle Clode, and an account of the arrival of Christian missionaries in the Torres Strait Islands by Torres Strait political leader George Mye.

This book demonstrates the processes of intercultural musical collaboration and how these processes contribute to facilitating positive relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia. Each of the chapters in this edited collection examines specific examples in diverse contexts, and reflects on key issues that underpin musical exchanges, including the benefits and challenges of intercultural music making. The collection demonstrates how these musical collaborations allow Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to work together, to learn from each other, and to improve and strengthen their relationships. The metaphor of the “third space” of intercultural music making is interwoven in different ways throughout this volume. While focusing on Indigenous Australian/non-Indigenous intercultural musical collaboration, the book will be of interest globally as a resource for scholars and postgraduate students exploring intercultural musical communication in countries with histories of colonisation, such as New Zealand and Canada.

Vejosac By: Malachi Issac "Jacob Dover has come to the realization one night that his life may never mean anything more than the mass that creates a somewhat unique lump on his almost old mattress that he lays on and will never mean anything more to anyone. Though the night he accepts this harsh fact, an incredibly beautiful woman appears in his room and not only claims to be a succubus, but the mother of his child, who has become the self proclaimed antichrist and plans the kill the world and grant him an excruciating death for reasons not yet disclosed. Jacob then understands the fact that some nights are better spent asleep rather than staying up and relapsing unto his depressive thoughts."
