2 1 y separately published work icon We've Got This : Stories by Disabled Parents Eliza Hull (editor), ( trans. Wen Wu with title 無障礙父母!25個身心障礙父母的育兒故事 ) Taipei : Xiao Mai Tian Chu Ban , 2023 23435302 2022 anthology prose autobiography

'The first major anthology by parents with disabilities

'How do two parents who are blind take their children to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night?

'When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was a mix of excited and nervous. But as a person with a physical disability, there were added complexities. She wondered- Will the pregnancy be too hard? Will people judge me? Will I cope with the demands of parenting? More than 15 per cent of Australian households have a parent with a disability, yet their stories are rarely shared, their experiences almost never reflected in parenting literature.

'In We've Got This, twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill discuss the highs and lows of their parenting journeys and reveal that the greatest obstacles lie in other people's attitudes. The result is a moving, revelatory and empowering anthology. As Rebekah Taussig writes, 'Parenthood can tangle with grief and loss. Disability can include joy and abundance. And goddammit - disabled parents exist.'

'Contributors include Jacinta Parsons, Kristy Forbes, Graeme Innes, Jessica Smith, Jax Jacki Brown, Nicole Lee, Elly May Barnes, Neangok Chair, Renay Barker-Mulholland, Micheline Lee and Shakira Hussein.

'We've Got This will appeal to readers of Growing Up Disabled in Australia and other titles in the Growing Up series.' (Publication summary)

Her grandmother is stern and grim, the islanders are reserved and joyless, and at school the children are not allowed to run wild or express themselves the way they did in Copenhagen - especially if you're a girl. Inge tries not to feel sorry for herself, but she misses her mama. And on top of everything else, mischief has a way of finding her no matter how hard she tries to be good... But could it be that a bit of mischief is exactly what Inge's grandmother and the island of Bornholm need? (Publisher's blurb)
6 y separately published work icon The Dark Side Anthony O'Neill , ( trans. Hongyan Huang with title 月之暗面 ) Taipei : Xiao Mai Tian Chu Ban , 2017 10492996 2016 single work novel science fiction thriller detective

In this dark and gripping sci-fi noir, an exiled police detective arrives at a lunar penal colony just as a psychotic android begins a murderous odyssey across the far side of the moon.

Purgatory is the lawless moon colony of eccentric billionaire, Fletcher Brass: a mecca for war criminals, murderers, sex fiends, and adventurous tourists. You can’t find better drugs, cheaper plastic surgery, or a more ominous travel advisory anywhere in the universe. But trouble is brewing in Brass’s black-market heaven. When an exiled cop arrives in this wild new frontier, he immediately finds himself investigating a string of ruthless assassinations in which Brass himself—and his equally ambitious daughter—are the chief suspects.

Meanwhile, two-thousand kilometers away, an amnesiac android, Leonardo Black, rampages across the lunar surface. Programmed with only the notorious “Brass Code”—a compendium of corporate laws that would make Ayn Rand blush—Black has only one goal in mind: to find Purgatory and conquer it.
