Wind Shadow Chronicles is a profound and imaginative fantasy book-series that challenges the proverbial questions of faith, science and morals.

The first book, Secrets of the White Lake takes place in a post-apocalyptic world, where a mysterious aurora hovers in the sky like a beacon, silently, eloquently.

Watarrka Waterhole Wildlife
Author: Jennifer Davis
Publisher: Waterpenny Press
ISBN: 0645607061
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
Watarrka National Park lies within the Red Centre of Australia, approximately halfway between the township of Alice Springs and the giant sandstone monolith of Uluru. The Park covers a region of outstanding scenic beauty, cultural importance and biodiversity significance at the western end of the George Gill Ranges. It lies within one of the driest regions of Australia, and the planet, but the rocky gorges, sheltered creek lines and perennial waterholes provide a refuge for plants and animals from an earlier and wetter period of Australia’s history. This book is a compilation of the very best of over a million images collected from camera traps running almost continuously at Watarrka waterholes between 2015 and 2022. These images form part of a scientific dataset tracking biodiversity change under a warming and drying climate. They also provide much insight into the species behaviours and interactions of wildlife largely unaffected by human presence.

Book Description
A compelling debut novel asks what happens when children develop inexplicable abilities—and the government sees them as a threat. They’re known as Firestarters. Boomers. Skychangers. The government calls them Illegals — children with inexplicable abilities — and detains them in menacing facilities so that society is kept out of harm’s way. Ashala Wolf and her Tribe of fellow Illegals have taken refuge in the Firstwood, a forest eerily conscious of its inhabitants, where they do their best to survive and where they are free to practice their abilities. But when Ashala is compelled to venture outside her territory, she is betrayed by a friend and captured by an enemy. Injured and vulnerable, with her own Sleepwalker ability blocked, Ashala is forced to succumb to a machine that will pull secrets from her mind. It’s only a matter of time before the machine ferrets out the location of the Tribe. Her betrayer, Justin Connor, is ever-present, saving her life when she wishes to die and watching her every move. Will the Tribe survive the interrogation of Ashala Wolf?
