Greenjacked
Ginger in Australian
Food and Medicine
GreenJacked explains, in lay
language, the progress of our
knowledge about cancer and shows
that nuclear power is our best hope
in the battle against a deteriorating
climate and why we have to overturn
long held but obsolete fears.
The book traces the history of ginger,
focusing on ginger growing and its use
in Australian food and medicine from
1788 to the mid-20th century. The story
is set in the context of ginger’s longerterm history in China and India, ancient
Greece and Rome, and Britain.

Pilgrim Souls
The Skirmish
Pilgrim Souls explores how the
unknown past can throw its
shadows onto the present and
into the personal life of someone
who has had no previous known
connection to events in the past.
The Skirmish is an action-packed combat
fiction which follows the adventures of four
friends who find themselves in the middle
of a struggle between a retired Colonel
and an elite militant faction, eager to seize
the United States Marine Corps biggest
arms shipment to date. Their journey takes
them from the heart of Montana, across the
Atlantic ocean, to the arid sands of Kirkuk,
Iraq, where more than just a weapon
snatch-and-grab is playing out.
