Blue Raspberry
Atsune and her friend Liz, along with her Prince Charming, Leo, set off on an adventure in the virtual world of Blue Raspberry, a VR MMO RPG style Dungeon Crawler video game. Together they face many challenges, make new friends and enemies, and become part of a Secret Guild, headed by the creator of the game himself, whose goal is to maintain fairness in the game. Over the course of several days, they become the highest-ranking players in the game, and even find young love. However, these friendships and young love is threatened when the game glitches, causing a malfunction in the Brain-Computer Interface of one of the players, causing him to forget the time he spent in the virtual world, and all the relationships he forged.
Birth in Suburbia
The story of three pregnancies, four friends, love, labour and birth. Birth in Suburbia is filled with information about pregnancy and labour, but the story drives the novel so well that it never feels like a data-laden textbook on pregnancy. Falaki strategically places helpful tidbits of information throughout the story, never forcing the plot or turning the narrative into a field manual. The story slowly builds and culminates with all three women going into labour within a 24-hour period. With descriptions of a home birth, an emergency caesarean section, and a normal hospital birth,'Under Falaki's careful pen, Birth in Suburbia plays out like a quick-witted, more mature episode of Sex and the City, except in this episode the characters are British and pregnant. With witty banter and emotional relationships, readers will find themselves quickly drawn into the story.'Carol Falaki was a midwife for 15 years with a special interest in helping to prepare women for childbirth and supporting normal labour.

The Only Way Home
On a warm day in May 2004, Liz Byron set off from Cooktown with her two companions, donkeys Grace and Charley, on a self-imposed challenge to walk 2500 kilometres of the Bicentennial National Trail over 9 months. This epic journey was a rite of passage to mark leaving 40 years of marriage and embarking on life as a single woman at the age of 61. She foresaw that self-reliance, physical stamina and route-finding would be challenges, but couldn’t have known how the outback environment in Queensland was to test her to the limit. Years of drought had left much of her route a dusty wasteland, without food or water for her animals. Years of suffering from childhood abuse and a family tragedy had left her unwilling to ask for help. Walking became a meditation, an exercise in being in the moment even when that moment was 43 degrees or she hadn’t eaten for 7 hours. In her moving memoir, Liz reveals how she healed herself step-by-step on the way to her new home in northern NSW - by learning to trust her intuition, the wisdom of her animals and the kindness of strangers.
The Silver Cord
This book is about spirituality as opposed to religion. To me religion is for people who fear hell. Spirituality is for people who have been there and have a closer connection to our higher being. This is the story of my spiritual growth on my journey through life. The result of much reading and the many experiences bringing me to the path I am currently on. it is about love, unconditional love, giving and receiving love and overcoming fear, for fear is only an illusion that keeps us from moving forward. It is about living and dying. What I believe to be the reason for us to be here in the "School House Earth".
Xenolith
Two lightly intertwined stories of strangers lost in strange lands. Lassoed, knocked down, face planted in the dirt -- best thing to happen to Frank Bowen in years. When wife Liz went missing in the wilds of Belize, the constables of San Ignacio could find no trace. Years later, on a pilgrimage to her remote 'grave,' Frank is abducted and whisked away to a place he can't identify, by people whose motives and origins baffle him. Could this be what happened to Liz? Meanwhile, at a relay site in a New England mill town, a band of scouts from that world awaits passage home. In the wrong place at the wrong time, they discover dealings that would give access to Earth to their enemies. The only way to stop this conspiracy is to destroy the 'xenoliths' that regulate convergences between the worlds. Can they find their way home and prevent their war from spreading to a new battleground called Earth?
Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination
Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination offers analyses of the theological, philosophical, and religious imagination found in fantasy literature, the theological imagination, and table-top games. Part I offers an invocation to the study through a theological reflection of the “old magic.” Part II analyzes classical Christian fantasy—ranging from dogmatic theological reflection on the fantastic imagination to analyses of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Part III analyzes the post-Christian turn in fantasy after about 1960 through today—featuring methodological, theological, and philosophical essays that reflect a movement beyond Christianity in the fantasy literature and writings of Rabbi Shagar, Ursula le Guin, Terry Pratchett, Robert Jordan and David Eddings, and Brandon Sanderson and Orson Scott Card. Part IV closes with two analyses of the religious and philosophical dimensions of table-top games, including Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: the Gathering. Theology, Fantasy, and the Imagination offers astute analyses of how theological fantasy actually is by articulating the religious, philosophical, and theological dimensions of the fantastic imagination.
