Witty and satirical, this account of Australia's heroic past rediscovers the contributions of Indigenous Australians that have since remained unrecorded and unacknowledged. Drawing on original records of the time, it moves the spotlight away from its traditional focus to illuminate those whom history had forgotten.

A Funny Thing Happened At 27,000 Feet

Debbie Lee

Fifteen fascinating stories—some iconic, many little known until now—of shipwreck, mutiny, piracy, and marooning in the region of Australia, New Zealand, and the PacificFilled with ripping, engaging stories from the age of sail and steam, this collection covers the gamut of human emotion and character: survival, courage, cowardice, and treachery, as well as humor, mystery, and the absurd. The stories featured include the wreck of the Batavia in the Abrolhos in 1629 and the psychopathic events that subsequently unfolded with more than 100 people murdered; Eliza Fraser cast away among the aboriginal population on Fraser Island, Queensland in 1836; the wrecks on the subantarctic islands near New Zealand that left people stranded for years before discovery; and the tragic wreck of the Loch Ard, a harrowing tale tragically ending with only two survivors.

Evie Mickelson is anything but your average hostage negotiator with acute mind control powers-- but she is about to discover she's the key to a battle with the demonic forces of evil.And Demoniacs (Book 1 of The Revelationary War) is anything but your average urban fantasy road trip novel with dark angels, ninja nuns and djinns. It is also a speculation on the nature of evil and terrorism. It is a commemoration of the superheroes of popular culture. It is a celebration of family. And it is an exaltation of just a few Bob Dylan songs. Come along on the journey!
