BOOK COVERS & RELEASE DATES
Rhyll Biest's A Sporting Chance, a Hot Down under short story with Momentum, comes out on November 1st.

  
In the outback town of Mount Tully, many a man’s had to squeeze into a frock after backing the wrong derby cane toad on Australia Day.
But Mount Tully’s surliest bartender, Jane Hood, has her steel-capped boots planted firmly on the ground, so there’s no way she’d risk her independence to accept a saucy bet from the sexy but bossy pub owner, Luka Belov … is there?

Room With A View is Kylie Scott's short story. As part of the Hot Down Under collection, it's being released 1st November through Momentum Books.
Natalie has watched as the zombie plague devastated civilisation.
Angus had been a miracle. Twenty-three years old and gorgeous he had appeared like Romeo from the pool area and thrown supplies up to her balcony. But now Angus is gone – he has abandoned her, which is probably for the best. She couldn’t stand to watch him die too.
Stranded four floors up and fenced in on all sides by the infected, food and water supplies are running as low as Natalie’s spirits. A lingering death from starvation seems inevitable.
But then she sees Angus striding for the pool gate with a sawn-off shotgun in his hands. Can he make it past the infected to reach her? And what will it mean if he does?






OTHER

When: Friday, 2nd November
Time: 8:30 – 9:30pm
Where: Rydges Parramatta (Ballroom B)

What: GenreCon stays up late and discusses the craft of writing adult themes, from sizzling sex-scenes to acts of violence. What phrases are best avoided? When is it time to stop letting yourself get carried away? Are there any lines that shouldn't be crossed? Our panellists will talk frankly about what works, and what doesn't.
Chair: Rosie Courtney
Participants: Yvonne Eve Walus, Denise Rossetti, Marty Young
