Karen Brooks The Escapades of Tribulation Johnson
Karen Brooks’ new novel reimagines the life of trailblazing playwright Aphra Behn. Reviewer Ann Skea wrote: ‘Karen Brooks … has revived Aphra and her words while weaving a fictional tale into the facts of her life, at the same time offering a fascinating picture of the way theatres functioned in Restoration England and of Aphra’s huge role in their popularity.’

Angela O’Keeffe The Sitter
Paris, 2020. A writer is confined to her hotel room during the early days of the pandemic, struggling to finish a novel about Hortense Cezanne, wife and sometime muse of the famous painter. Dead for more than a century, Hortense has been reawakened by the writer’s work, and as she shadows the writer through the locked-down city, she considers the woman before her and what hides in her past. ‘Meditative and elegant.’ – Mirandi Riwoe

Shelley Burr Ripper

That the last stop on the Rainier Ripper’s trail of death 17 years ago was her innocuous little teashop. When a tour operator is killed by a Ripper copycat on Gemma’s doorstep, Gemma is drawn into the investigation. And so is a prisoner named Lane Holland.
