Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drought, flood, harrowing isolation and horrific accidents. . . the Australian outback is no place for a lady. But the women of the Outback are a different breed: tough, resilient and endlessly resourceful. They're both the backbone and the heart of Australia, keeping their farms going, their families together and their communities alive - and often against overwhelming odds. Maree was left with three small daughters when her husband and young son were killed in a light plane crash. Molly lived alone in a 1920s homestead in the middle of the Simpson Desert for twenty years without even a phone. Alice admits she couldn't tell a cow from a bull when she first went to live in the Outback. This book tells the inspiring stories of fourteen remarkable women, from high-achievers to everyday heroes. Their tales are often heart-rending and regularly touched by tragedy, but are always life-affirming. They portray Outback Australian women as they really are - and as we all wish we might be.

Book excerpt: OUTBACK GROOM The engagement of wealthy Australian rancher Dustin Tanner is just the scoop journalist Shay Russell needs to save her flagging career. But when she races to the Outback to interview the happy couple, she finds the story’s gone bust. And then a sudden storm leaves her trapped on the ranch—with a man who looks like he’d do anything to get her out of there…. Dustin’s learned the hard way that urban career women and the Outback don’t mix. Well…maybe they mix a little. Because Shay and Dustin, despite their better judgment, can’t keep their eyes—or their hands!—off each other.They’re about to learn that every action has its consequences. And their consequence should present itself in about eight and a half months…

Book excerpt: The word "amazon" generally conjures up images of wild and powerful warrior women, fighting off foes in some primitive matriarchal society where they rule over men who have been subverted to more menial roles. Outback Women's Stories is a compilation of significant Australian women of simple but important character traits - strength, fortitude and courage. Australia has grown from penal colony to modern nation and important player on the global stage, and during this period there have been any number of women who have courageously taken on the multifarious and sometimes death-defying challenges the Aussie outback has thrown at them, often alongside the men they loved with gaggles of children in tow. These women have faced their trials admirably, with rarely a word of complaint, and continue to do so to this day - they are our "Aussie Amazons".

Book excerpt: “A Handmaid’s Tale for the 21st century” (Prism Magazine), Wood’s dystopian tale about a group of young women held prisoner in the Australian desert is a prescient feminist fable for our times. As the Guardian writes, “contemporary feminism may have found its masterpiece of horror.” Drugged, dressed in old-fashioned rags, and fiending for a cigarette, Yolanda wakes up in a barren room. Verla, a young woman who seems vaguely familiar, sits nearby. Down a hallway echoing loudly with the voices of mysterious men, in a stark compound deep in the Australian outback, other captive women are just coming to. Starved, sedated, the girls can't be sure of anything—except the painful episodes in their pasts that link them. Drawing strength from the animal instincts they're forced to rely on, the women go from hunted to hunters, along the way becoming unforgettable and boldly original literary heroines that readers will both relate to and root for. The Natural Way of Things is a lucid and illusory fable and a brilliantly plotted novel of ideas that reminds us of mankind's own vast contradictions—the capacity for savagery, selfishness, resilience, and redemption all contained by a single, vulnerable body.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty women share their incredible stories of surviving and thriving in the remote Australian 'Gulf Country', near the Gulf of Carpentaria. Gulf women are self-sufficient, generous, and can cope with almost anything that life and the environment throws at them: floods, drought, sickness, emergencies. Whether they are graziers, fisherwomen, ringers, women in tourism, aviation and education, Indigenous women or descendants from early women settlers, this powerful book gives these women a voice to tell their own stories. There are stories of new mothers on properties isolated and inaccessible for months in the wet season; women giving birth at home with only neighbours to assist; reminiscences from last century and World War II, and accounts of fishing in the Gulf in sometimes unimaginable conditions. From the kids wanting a baby croc for a pet to the terror of a snake bite with a flooded airstrip and impassable roads, these women treat the extraordinary events in their lives as just part of their remote way of life. Set in a world of vast landscapes, distance and merciless climate, Beyond the Outback contains riveting tales of the lives of the women who live, work and raise families in one of Australia's most isolated regions. It will be loved by readers of Sara Henderson, Toni Tapp Coutts and Terry Underwood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not Just the Wife of the General Manager is a rollicking memoir of one woman’s life on outback cattle stations, and an homage to the many unsung women like her. It was the 1980s and Sally was in her mid 20s when she returned from a backpacking sojourn and hitchhiked to Australia’s far north. But instead of moving back to Canberra as planned, she stayed. After marrying a cattle station manager, Sally lived and worked with him on various stations until she was 50, ingraining herself into the lives of the characters who inhabited these isolated places. With wit and sass, Sally tells the story of how she was so much more than just a wife of a station manager (despite what some of the top end blokes thought). Among other things, she was a nurse (dealing with local accidents, assisting the Flying Doctor service and making emergency 400 km round trips through the outback with sick children), a mother (bringing up several children, not all her own), a travel agent, a social secretary, a host and an organiser (including of Kerry Packer’s New Year’s Eve parties). This is a story about adventure, resilience, the unexpected journeys we need to go on to find ourselves, and having the courage to do something for yourself. In Sally's words: 'Life’s like that, fellas. You may spend a lifetime trying to find yourself but, at the end of the day, you've been there all along.'

Book excerpt: Call the Midwife meets In the Middle of Nowhere in this heartwarming memoir of an adventurous Aussie midwife's life 'catching babies'. Outback Midwife is the story of Beth McRae’s 40 years as a midwife, from her terrifying first day witnessing a birth as a naïve student nurse to her training as a midwife – the days when the words ‘birth plan’ were unheard of and what women wanted was a long way from being part of any plan – to the outback. Beth's career of catching babies takes her from the city to the bush, bonding with people from all walks of life at one of the most important moments in their lives. But there was one more frontier she was determined to conquer. At a time when most people are thinking about slowing down, Beth decides to move to a remote Aboriginal community in Arnhem Land to embark on a whole other adventure.

Book excerpt: An Outback Life is a story of a woman who spent the prime of her life in the wilds of Australia's Northern Territory, when it really was an untamed frontier. In this earthy tale of love, hope, loss, and survival, Mary Groves describes the sometimes heart-breaking loneliness, the hard work and the rises and falls in her family's fortunes as they battle to survive in Australia's Top End. Mary was the key, hands-on person in the business's she shared with her husband, Joe, learning mostly out of necessity to operate helicopters, cattle trucks and anything else it took to grow their very successful family business. During the process of surviving the many, almost insurmountable, obstacles presented along the way, she has collected an abundance of interesting stories involving, Australian and NT Pastoral history, Racing, Rodeo, Droving, Aviation, Spirituality and Aboriginal history.By this first time author, Mary's promise to her mother originally instigated this book as a historical record, but Mary is also keen to have it used as a survival handbook for future generations.In the tradition of 'From Strength to Strength' by Sara Henderson and 'We of the Never-Never' by Mrs Aeneas Gunn, this lively historical/ autobiography tells an earthy tale of love, hope, loss and dogged determination to survive in the outback in simple, straightforward language – and often the vernacular- of the people it is set among. Set in Australia's last frontier, this Memoir would probably be best described, as a real Australian historical adventure of survival at all costs. The narrative zips along at a lively pace, and features one cracking yarn after another. In addition to telling her own and her family's story across the decades, Mary includes descriptions of many long-lost bush skills and natural phenomena in the hope that the book may serve as a kind of 'survival handbook'.Due to its exotic appeal, along with its parallels to America's Wild West, An Outback Life will appeal to male and female readers - males, because of its adventure subject matter, and females, because the story is told by a woman and unfolds in a time and place where your gender usually dictated the course of one's life. An Outback Life will appeal to readers of the following titles:•The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough•From Strength to Strength by Sara Henderson•No Place for a Woman by Maise Young•We of the Never-Never by Mrs Aeneas Gunn•Kings in Grass Castles by Mary Durack.An Outback Life was first published in Australia in May 2011 and 2012 by Allen & Unwin- The author is now keen to accommodate the overseas interest shown.
