'A remote cabin. A family on edge. They are not alone.

'It was meant to be a family bonding exercise: two weeks in a mountain cabin on the outskirts of a former gold-mining town. These days, Wooralla’s only claim to fame is a retro diner called The Flying Saucer and a dusty museum dedicated to the area’s history of UFO sightings. Owen knows it’s all bogus, but at least it gives him something to do.

'Half a day into their holiday, Owen’s family is already bickering. By day two, his little sister is sick. On the third night, they witness peculiar lights in the sky.

'By day nine they are fleeing, too panicked to grab their phones, belongings, even the family dog. Owen doesn’t know what they’re running from, he only knows he needs to keep his little sister safe. But how can he tell anyone about his dad’s erratic behaviour? Weird howling from deep in the bush? Strange entities hiding in the trees? How does he explain what was real and what wasn’t when he doesn’t even know himself?

'In Owen’s search for answers, nothing is as it seems. And what he’ll uncover is beyond anything he imagined.'

'Meet Mabel, Sophie, Cate, and Darcy in this Leftovers novella.

'It’s the wedding reception none of them particularly wanted to attend. So, when strangers Mabel, Sophie, Cate, and Darcy are seated together on a dud table at the back of the venue, at least they’re a safe distance from the antics of the spoilt bride and drunken groom.

'Mabel has an important task to complete. Sophie’s preoccupied with her parents’ separation. Darcy’s struggling to find a new normal without her sister. And Cate thinks nothing could be more mortifying than her late entrance. What they didn’t expect is to be working together to fix an epic cake-tastrophe.

'Welcome to the Australian coastal town of Leftover Bay, where residents are navigating friendships and family, first love, and figuring out where they fit in the world.

'This YA novella is a standalone story and takes place before the events of Sugarcoated (Book 1 in the Leftovers series).'(Publication summary)

'Sophie's sweet plan is about to get complicated.

'Bad things come in threes, right? Apparently not for Sophie. It seems like everything in her life is turning sour. Her family's crumbling, her creative spark has fizzled, and school's unbearable now that her ex-boyfriend and best friend are sweet on each other.

'So when Sophie lands a summer job at Seaside Candy Co, she doesn't mind swapping beach days for lollipops and jellybeans. She has a plan: earn enough for a plane ticket to her dad in New Zealand and reboot her sixteenth year somewhere new.

'But the Sweetest Store on the Coast soon becomes a mixed bag of complications. Like Simon, the buttoned-up work rival she can't seem to get out of her head. Like trying to figure out if her boss's extra attention is professional or inappropriate. And what exactly does a co-worker know about Sophie's family that might just upend everything?

'Welcome to the Australian coastal town of Leftover Bay, where residents are navigating friendships and family, first love, and figuring out where they fit in the world.'
