Abstract
The following contains two novel excerpts and two short stories completed during the years of 2011 to 2013. Rain in Paluma consists of a fictitious community based upon island life in Australia. Stroke deals with the relationship of father and son, both facing the consequences of Alzheimer’s disease. The Desert Keeper centers upon a young girl who stumbles across a mythological figure in the guise of a hobbled woman. The Reedlands touches on the randomness and oddity of anonymous sexual encounters, while bringing together elements of Egyptian funerary ceremony.
