NEW CHAPTER:Amber settles in & gets her feet under her while coming to grips with the critical differences between her small, curated country town & the wider world. There's friends to be made, both among the living & the dead, tricks to be learned and mistakes to be made. Whether they're critical ones remains to be seen.
Content Warning: Swears, pedagogical violence, historical racism, awkward encounters with fellow students.

I interviewed Shailee Thompson about her fantastic new crime novel, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates, for Sisters in Crime. Read how she came up with the idea to combine the romcom and slasher genres with such panache!

For this month’s Author Spotlight, Narrelle M. Harris spoke to Brisbane author, Shailee Thompson, about her wonderfully named debut novel, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates (Simon & Schuster). She had an absolute BLAST writing this book.
And I just finished the book. And it made me cry. Written by a brother & sister of the Palyku people in the Pilbara. If you like youth fiction…
Set in the contemporary real world, with a Stolen Generation background but with fantasy/spiritual threads running through it.
New Chapter is Live! When touching grass isn't enough, you gotta grab a mate & take a day trip to the seaside. Sea! Sand! Fresh air! Mediocre cafe food! Half the fun is always the chat on the drive down. Amber & Vincent compare notes while he comes to terms with his unwanted gift.
Content warning: The usual foul language and heavy smoking. Also mentions of death, colonialism, suicide and far too much talk about birds.
Big nights in lead to slow mornings after. Hung over & with the memory of the previous evening fading, Amber has work ahead of her. But she's not the only one seeking out what remains of the dearly departed.
Content advisory: Very bad language, drinking, smoking, drug references, veterinary injections, crap parents, mild slurs, discussions of violence, racist grand-dads & stacks of load bearing rust.
