Book Description
A compelling mystery embedded in a wonderful coming-of-age story! The body of Grants Pass, Oregon, a perfect hometown in 1959, contains a cancerous cell hiding in plain sight. We follow Troy Clay from age twelve to seventeen through many adventures on the Rogue River—the building of a tree house, a midnight raid on a golf course, the finding of a strange doll, a raft trip through Hellgate canyon, and a night voyage to solve a mystery. The story begins as a memoire but takes place in real time. “From the age of fifteen to seventeen, I was a Peeping Tom, and I fell in love with a woman whose hair was as scarlet as her profession. So if you are a line-drawer, or a person who needs to have everything in neat little boxes, or if you are sanctimonious, don’t read another word. Close my book and find one more respectable.” Troy’s seventeen-year-old girlfriend Monica Marsh is a big part of the story. Troy and Monica’s love had been maturing since the sixth grade and grew sexual as high schoolers. Troy’s friend, Jim Reynolds, gives Troy false advice about birth control, and that leads the story in an unexpected direction in an encounter with a serial killer. Rogue River Heaven is a page-turner will keep you reading as it builds to a shattering climax. Another winner by mystery writer Roger E. Carrier!

Book Description
Rogue Intensities is a memoir grounded in Tasmania, with a richness of storytelling which emerges from the space between human, nature and environmental threads. It manages to straddle the intimate and the universal with ease a great deal of delight. The exploration of the Australian landscape through prose is a core tenet of Australian literature and the UWAP has been successful in finding a shining example of this in Rogue intensities. This work successfully adds to this canon in a way that extends it and enriches writing alongside it. 'Rogue Intensities is an uncannily timely work, its aesthetic achievement is deeply embedded in urgent concerns of our current moment. It breaks down the artificial divisions between science, art, creative production and history to forge an original perspective and a model of connection between the creative processes of nature, knowledge and writing. Angela manages to create intimacy with the elements of the observable world and with experiences through a careful detachment, which is akin to scientific record. Rogue Intensities engages the reader with what Hayden White termed the great ‘pleasure of information’ about creatures, the atmosphere, the weather, landscape, seasons, as they are encountered in everyday life. There is a great joy in this text of discovery — as if writer and reader were encyclopaedists who have been granted permission to wonder at the world. I know of no other contemporary text that does this.’ — Associate Professor Elizabeth McMahon, UNSW
