alligators overheadToday, we feature a sneak peek of C. Lee McKenzie’s middle grade adventure fantasy, Alligators Overhead.

The town’s bad boy, Pete Riley, may only be twelve, but he’s up to his eyeballs in trouble. The trouble arrives when a legendary hundred-year-old mansion materializes next door and the Ornofree alligators declare war to save their swamp from bulldozers. Then Pete’s guardian aunt and her friends vanish trying to restore order using outdated witchcraft. Pete must find the witches and stop the war. He might succeed if his one friend, Weasel, sticks with him.

Sneak Peek: Terra Nullius

Today we have a sneak peek from author T.D. McKinnon’s historical fiction book, Terra Nullius.

Terra NulliusTerra Nullius gives a human face, with all the complexities that entails, from the point of view of the people who were the standing residents of Tasmania, formally known as Van Diemen’s Land, originally, simply The Land.

It took just seventy years to all but obliterate a race of people who had taken care of their land for more than forty thousand years. Trucannini, witnessed the rape and murder of her sisters, mother and brother, and the mutilation and murder of her fiancé, and was herself pack raped by the time she was sixteen. Why are the facts of such huge, systematic atrocities not taught in Australian history lessons? Why are such details about the 19th century not common knowledge even in Tasmania, let alone Australia and the world at large? A nation’s shame perhaps?
