"I had always imagined that my life story...would have a great first line: something like Nabokov's 'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins;' or if I could not do lyric, then something sweeping like Tolstoy's 'All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.'... When it comes to openers, though, the best in my view has to be the first line of Ford Madox Ford's The Good Soldier: 'This is the saddest story I have ever heard.'" So begins the remarkable tale of Firmin the rat. Born in a bookstore in a blighted 1960's Boston neighborhood, Firmin miraculously learns how to read by digesting his nest of books. Alienated from his family and unable to communicate with the humans he loves, Firmin quickly realizes that a literate rat is a lonely rat. Following a harrowing misunderstanding with his hero, the bookseller, Firmin begins to risk the dangers of Scollay Square, finding solace in the Lovelies of the burlesque cinema. Finally adopted by a down-on-his-luck science fiction writer, the tide begins to turn, but soon they both face homelessness when the wrecking ball of urban renewal arrives. In a series of misadventures, Firmin is ultimately led deep into his own imaginative soul--a place where Ginger Rogers can hold him tight and tattered books, storied neighborhoods, and down-and-out rats can find people who adore them. A native of South Carolina, Sam Savage now lives in Madison, Wisconsin. This is his first novel.

'You're talented, young, healthy and wealthy - the world's your oyster!' So wrote Shakespeare in his play As You Like It, and Shirley has structured this passionate, audacious, graphic and forever changing historical memoir on his 'seven ages of wo/man'. As a professional writer for more than 40 years, Shirley always swore she'd never write a memoir. Not only has she had more careers and lived in more places than anyone she's ever known, but telling the truth of the good, bad and ugly experiences of her life was a bridge too far. Her resistance unravelled when she appointed her beloved Gen-X nephews to be her 'muse' and they have narrated The World's Your Oyster with candour, laughter and tears. A born gambler, actor and writer, Shirley's journey that began at the start of the baby boomer era was destined to be different. In her determination to conquer the world, she takes us from safe beginnings in country towns in Victoria to exotic, action-packed and sometimes life-threatening dramas around the globe. From volunteer service to refugees on the sampans in Hong Kong to terrifying employment with a multinational in America, Shirley had to grow up fast. Two early marriages and a career in television and running her own entertainment agency in the 70s certainly helped. The 80s included executive recruitment/management consulting, a gourmet catering business, building a sports sponsorship bureau in London and working as a watch-dog for the NSW Mental Health Authority. Sexual harassment, bullying and abuse throughout these years was her Achilles Heel but finally the 90s gave her the chance to write what she wanted to write! Seven published books (incl. several best sellers at home and abroad), and seven 'book flog' tours later, she'd achieved that goal! At the turn of the century she met her match and married him - her third husband following 32 years single and they are living happily ever after in beautiful Tasmania. For anyone who thinks they've got a book in them, this is a 'must' read.
The story of women's cricket in Tasmania is one of perseverance and passion. And it's a history of firsts, including Lily Poulett-Harris who founded organised women's cricket in Australia, and the Tasmanian team that played in the first interstate women's cricket match.Underpinning the journey are the trailblazing pioneers who stepped into the male domain of cricket.

Whether playing national competition or local competition, Tasmanian female cricketers have shaped the modern game and paved the way for the professional pathways that exist today.On the Front Foot tells the fascinating and spirited story of the rise of Tasmanian women's cricket. A story that acknowledges past hardships and celebrates those who believed in change ? and made it happen. Jacqui Triffitt brings to her writing a unique perspective.
