Stray Son sets the supernatural solidly amidst the bizarrely mundane life of Patrick Jaworsky, Vietnam vet, married with two children, whose current job is picking up bodies for a mortuary. And when a young but familiar looking Marine keeps crossing his path, nothing is normal again, and, we find, as in real life, it never really was. Patrick and his family are swept back and forth in time in a gorgeous 1937 Packard on their way to two funerals, his grandmother's in 1942, and his father's in 2000. Haunted by an array of surprisingly tender and horrifying ghosts, Patrick meets not only the brutal family he's been estranged from for 30 years, but his past. And beyond. In a startling unraveling of memories and revelations, he comes to terms with his scarring past, and has a cascading domino effect on those around him. This gutsy, lyrical, sad, hilarious journey into the past and present--and what often passes for love--is an emotional, metaphysical roller coaster. Through Patrick's eyes, we look long and hard, if tenderly, into our own hall of mirrors. And at the things we were taught never to talk about. A hell of a story and an amazing first novel!

In 1982, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service--with the backing of the Australian government at the time--formed its first ever. special covert operations team in support of Secret Service agents operating overseas. Similar to the UK’s Special Operations Executive that was formed during World War II, this Top Secret team was comprised of a small number of highly trained civilians whose actions--should they be caught--would be government deniable. The team trained intensely for just one year ending in the inglorious and notorious Melbourne Sheraton Hotel raid at the end of 1983. At just 25 years old, Alexandra Stowasser was the first and only woman recruited to that team. In ‘Tasting the Oyster,’ she relates the many paths that led her to that fateful time in her life: her family background, her childhood as an English migrant in Western Australia, the difficulties thrown in her path as she pursued her destiny, and the final challenge of leading a secret double life during a year of intense and often highly dangerous training. This is her story…
