Demons
What demons sit on YOUR shoulder? Andrea McNamara, daughter of Catholic parents with a lifetime of ‘protest’ behind them, and granddaughter of an Irish matriarch, has finished university and is looking forward to starting her new life. But then she meets Chris, her former boyfriend, and self-styled classics geek and atheist. The meeting prompts Andrea to look back at her her final year at high school when she met Chris for the first time and when her life began to change in ways both challenging and unexpected. This brief but powerful (and expertly constructed) novel is at once a love story and an acknowledgement of the part belief systems of various kinds (religious and pagan) still play in the lives of an ostensibly secular pair of young lovers. Bill Nagelkerke, from New Zealand, has a highy distinctive voice and approach to constructing his fiction. ACHUKAbooks launched its digital list with THE FIELD, Bill’s short novella about a girl who is visited by Marian apparitions. We’re delighted to be publishing a second and longer work by him now.
Emily’s Penny Dreadful
Emily’s aunt and uncle come to stay, following a house fire. They take over Emily’s room, something that Emily is less than pleased about. All that they bring with them, apart from the clothes they wear, is a valuable, Victorian, Penny Dreadful. Uncle Raymond is a curmudgeonly character, a writer whose muse has abandoned him. Emily is in love with words and writing. She hopes Uncle Raymond will help her finish the Penny Dreadful she decides to write. He is very reluctant, something that adds to Emily’s annoyance. But then she begins to realise that Uncle Raymond has a sad secret that he wants to keep hidden. Can they help each other?
The Field
How on earth do you tell your family that you’ve seen . . . . . . Our Lady . . . . . . The Virgin Mary . . . . . . The Queen of Heaven . . . . . . The Mother of God. (The Mother of GOD!) And that she has spoken to you. And that she is going to speak to you again. Up in the Crow’s Nest. Tomorrow. And that is why you had to be there. (And that’s why you’d wet yourself.)
Jacinta has spent her childhood accompanying her father to work, and spending time in the big-wigs’ stand, high up above the sports field, watching her dad go about his chores, while her younger brother helps at his side. When Jacinta begins receiving messages from Mary, Mother of God, her parents and the local bishop don’t know how to respond.
Cauliflower Ears
The Green Team, sometimes called The Cauliflower Ears, is getting ready to play its last game of rugby of the season. It’s the Grand Final of the Junior Home World Cup. And it’s Wings’ last game with the Greens. But can the Green Team possibly beat its arch-rival, the Reds, sometimes known as . . .the Devils?
