"Thousands of people come to watch particular players because there is something about them that they can connect with and that excites, and Liam is doing just thataBut he's also showing that he's a great man, a special person." -Jimmy Stynes, President of the Melbourne Football Club. Known as the 'Warlpiri Warrior,' the 'Jurrahcane' and 'Cougar,' Liam Jurrah is a rising star of the AFL, known for his startling displays of skill, artistry and the 'deadly' impact of his football ability. But despite Liam's prodigious talent, he is a relative newcomer to the AFL. This book tells the incredible journey travelled by Liam, a fully initiated Warlpiri man, from the remote Aboriginal desert community of Yuendumu to the MCG, as the first of his kind to play football at an elite level. Written by the man whose family provided a home for Liam when he first moved to Melbourne, this is the story of how Liam learned about life in the 'big smoke,' his time at Collingwood and his recruitment by Jimmy Stynes and the Melbourne Football club. Along the way the book describes how the author and his family came to understand and treasure the richness of Liam's Warlpiri culture. According to Martin Flanagan, "Liam Jurrah is like no other sports story in Australia, and possibly the world, at this time."
Liam is the boy, lying in the hospital, in grave condition, a bullet lodged in his head. Otto is his father, a commercial artist whose marriage has collapsed in the wake of the disaster. Paul Griner’s brave novel taps directly into the vein of a uniquely American tragedy: the school shooting. We know these grotesque and sorrowful events too well. Thankfully, the characters in this drama are finely drawn human beings—those who gain our empathy, those who commit the unspeakable acts, and those conspiracy fanatics who launch a concerted campaign to convince the world that the shooting was a hoax. The Book of Otto and Liam is a suspenseful, edge-of-your-seat read and, at the same time, it is a meditation on the forms evil can take, from the irredeemable act of the shooter himself, to the anger and devastation it causes in the victims’ families. Griner has managed to make an amazing, incredibly powerful book, one that is like no other.
For years vampires were peaceful creatures, only feeding on the willing. But that changed when the coven took over, pledging their race to the God of Debauchery and Murder. Now they are feared by the other races, driven by their lust for blood and sex. The chimera princess and general, Hecate, is a strong warrior. She does her best to defend her people and protect the chimera Betas and Omegas, the breeding classes, who are often taken by Alpha vampires against their wills. But outnumbered on the battlefield after a long fight, Hecate has no choice but to yield to the vampires’ demands—she must willingly go with the vampire prince, Vincent, and accept that she is his fated mate. If she does this, the other chimeras will be allowed to go free. Alpha Vincent returns home with his fated Omega by his side, but Hecate is confused by what she finds there. Not all vampires are devoted to the God of Debauchery and Murder. Most Beta and Omega vampires are being neglected and abused. They want change but are too weak to fight for it, and those in power are much too strong. They seem to want out as much as she does but there’s something else—something about Vincent. He seems to know her, as though they had met in a previous life. Hecate holds no such belief but as her and Vincent’s lives intertwine, she’ll need to question everything she thought she knew about life, love, and fate.
