Book Description
Novelist, journalist and activist Katharine Susannah Prichard won fame for vivid novels that broke new ground depicting distinctly Australian ways of life and work - from Gippsland pioneers and West Australian prospectors to Pilbara station hands and outback opal miners. Her prize-winning debut The Pioneers made her a celebrity but she turned away from jaunty romances to write a trio of inter-war classics, Working Bullocks, Coonardoo and Haxby's Circus. Heralded in her time as the 'hope of the Australian novel’, her good friend Miles Franklin called Prichard ‘Australia’s most distinguished tragedian'. This biography of a literary giant traces Prichard's journey from the genteel poverty of her Melbourne childhood to her impulsive marriage to Victoria Cross winner Hugo Throssell, and finally on to her long widowhood as a 'red witch', marked out from society by her loyalty to the Soviet Union and her unconventional ways. Through meticulous archival research and historical detective work, Nathan Hobby reveals many unknown aspects of Prichard's life, including the likely identity of the mysterious lover who influenced her deeply in her twenties, her withdrawal from politics during her remarkable five-year literary peak and an intimate friendship with poet Hugh McCrae. Lively and detailed, The Red Witch is a gripping narrative alert to the drama and tragedy of Prichard’s remarkable life.

Book Description
From USA Today Bestselling author Katerina Martinez A hunter becomes the hunted. A witch faces down her nemesis. The stakes have never been higher. The veil of shadows surrounding my nemesis is lifted when a contact of Collette's comes forward with information he claims is valuable. The catch? He's all the way in Berlin, the German capital, and he isn't leaving his circle of protection for any witch. Making the decision to go and find this witch is easy, but living with it isn't; not when Aaron comes out of left-field with a question I wasn't sure I was ready to hear until I heard it. Collette's contact could be the key to defeating Acheris or, at the very least, he might become an ally in the fight, so I have no choice but to travel to Europe even though Aaron can't come with me. But a mysterious blocking of communications separates me from the rest of the coven back home, leaving Collette and I alone to defend against whatever the devil's witch and her minions have in store for us. Meanwhile, back in sleepy Raven's Glen, an ill wind blows; and Frank, Damien, and Aaron are about to run into trouble of their own... Inspired by fantastic authors such as Karen Marie Moning, Richelle Mead, and Shannon Mayer, True Witch is the first book in Katerina's remastered Amber Lee series of urban fantasy novels. Like deep mysteries, magick so real you could almost touch it, and plenty of romantic twists and turns? This is the book for you! Note that this book was once called The Red Witch. It has been remastered and re-branded in order to bring it up to speed, but it is the same book; the story has only changed in minor ways. Do not buy this book if you have already bought and read Red Witch. THE AMBER LEE SERIES 1. True Witch 2. Dark Witch 3. Shadow Witch 4. Red Witch 5. Devil's Witch (Coming Soon...)

Full of romance, intrigue, magic, and passion, the first book of The Five Crowns of Okrith—the thrilling TikTok sensation from A.K. Mulford—The High Mountain Court begins the journey of the fugitive red witch Remy as she fights to reclaim her kingdom and discover what’s inside her heart. For thirteen years, nineteen-year-old Remy has known she is possibly the last red witch alive, and she is determined to stay that way. But the Northern Court King, who has slaughtered her family and placed a bounty on red witch heads, is intent on destroying her kind once and for all. When four fae warriors enter her tavern refuge, Remy tries to flee, but her magic isn’t strong enough to stop the determined—and handsome—Prince Hale of the Eastern Kingdom.

In order to do that, he needs a red witch…and Remy may be the only person alive who can help him. Yet even as she’s drawn to him, can she really trust Prince Hale? Can her fallen court truly be rescued from the evil clutches of the Northern Court King? Does she even have a choice? For the chance to save herself, her people, and help rid the world of a murderous tyrant, Remy must put her faith in Hale and his companions on a dangerous quest to find lost relics…and discover if she is ready to secure her legacy.
