1 July, 2007 In Golden Serpent, Alan McQueen is an Aussie spy on the verge of retirement. 
1 July, 2007 When Benedict Waters is summoned to an audience with an old friend of his mother’s he is seduced by a labyrinth of stories within stories that span several generations and travel from the South Coast of New South Wales to the Blue Mountains, the Hawkesbury and Sydney. 
1 July, 2007 Following up his most recent novel, Candle Life, in The Dirty Beat Venero Armanno presents Max, a rock and jazz drummer whom we first meet as he comes to on a mortuary slab, being prepped for burial. 
1 July, 2007 In 2012 the world is occupied by German and Japanese forces. 
1 July, 2007 Foxlee’s manuscript won her the 2006 Queensland premier’s award for best emerging author and if it were possible I’d suggest everyone read it in manuscript form-neither the final cover nor the earlier illustrated version that appeared in the publisher’s catalogue seems quite right. Indeed, it’s a difficult novel to categorise. 
1 July, 2007 Belinda Castles is an editor and writer whose first novel, Falling Woman, received much praise when it was published in 2000. 
1 June, 2007 Vera is an Australian woman who lives with her husband Axel, a German zookeeper, in Berlin. The year is 1944. That plot summary alone is enough to sell this book.

1 June, 2007 Nine Parts Water is a debut novel about belonging and the finding of one’s true identity, among other things.

1 June, 2007 Sydney Bauer, whose debut novel Undertow attracted rave reviews, is the pseudonym of Sydney-based TV executive Kimberley Scott. 
1 June, 2007 The Awakening is the first in a series from new author Bevan McGuiness.

The Gospel of Gods and Crocodiles

Love & Desire by Cate Kennedy
1 April, 2007 Love and Desire is a collection of four novellas from up-and-coming Australian writers; a glimpse of some of the fresh new talent in Australian writing. 
1 April, 2007 In this, the fourth in the ‘Stella Street’ series, the Australian writer has collaborated with Heike Brandt, German bookseller, writer and translator. 
1 April, 2007 Paul Morgan is no stranger to the historical fiction genre. His previous novel, The Pelagius Book, based on the life of the fifth-century British Roman theologian and philosopher Pelagius, was well received and found high critical acclaim. 
1 April, 2007 Carol Lefevre’s debut novel is an often sensual and intimate portrayal of a group of people fleeing the catastrophe and upheaval that has marred their lives. 
1 April, 2007 Why isn’t Michael Robotham a huge name in Australia? He’s won a Ned Kelly, achieved very impressive sales in the UK (over 150,000 copies of his debut, The Suspect) and he writes a damn good book.

1 April, 2007 Written by a former ambulance officer, this is a real page-turner and will certainly appeal to fans of medical-based crime thrillers. 
1 April, 2007 Mike Ponder’s debut action thriller opens promisingly with the body-littered prologue almost obligatory for the genre. 
1 April, 2007 The Time We have Taken was a perfect post-Christmas book for me. It was fast, entertaining and humorous and I loved all the games and switches the author played with this reader. |
