1 y separately published work icon Jigsaw Kez Wickham St George , Waikiki : Making Magic Happen Press , 2023 26576406 2023 single work novel

'Once again, the author proves her skills as an incredible storyteller that draws you into a hidden world of parental childhood trauma.

'As a young child, her one thought was to escape the abuse from the ones she should trust. Her mum with her deep angry emotional trauma and her sibling, who would quite happily dispose of her existence. No one can help her, why? Because it's secreted away inside the family home. Married off at seventeen to a narcissistic alcoholic to appease the demands of the cult her family belong to. Cassie soon discovers no one cares, not the cult leaders, her family or the police. In the late 1900s it's termed as a domestic dispute. Poverty of mind and body is a everyday occurrence in this naive child's life. Knowing to escape this life there are two ways, the first to imitate the maternal women folk in her family before her by suicide, or by running as far away as possible. But where?

'Jigsaw is not only an escape story, a love story, and a story of modern-day sadistic insurgency of the patriarchal system. It's an awakening for Cassie as she fights for her rights as a woman. Jigsaw is a story of a woman rebirthing in all ways to be who she is today. It's also a paranormal story that cannot be explained nor be navigated.' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon White Wahine Kez Wickham St George , Rockingham : Kez Wickham St George , 2014 9624417 2014 single work novel romance adventure

'Your only thought is to run away and hide, so that you can never be found. If you are found out you will be violently abused, tortured, if not killed. No one can help you, because it’s all happening inside the home, its being called a domestic dispute, so there’s no one to come and assist you. The hurt is living inside you, for the sake of your children you hang in there, hoping that with the passing of each day, you can take one more step, one more action, that will eventually be the well thought out plan that others believe you have had in the back of your mind all along.

White Wahine is not only a story of escape, a love story and a modern day insurgency, against the misogynistic or patriarchal system women in all cultures are being asked to fight against, if they are to bring a sense of balance to the world… finally. It is also a story of the paranormal, of events that cannot be explained and that can not be ignored as we navigate our way through this physical plane' (author's website).
