The Again-Walkers was inspired by ninth century Danish mythology and superstition. To end a blood feud between two Viking families, Svana Norup is offered as a peace-pledge bride to blacksmith, Hallkell Jenson. Within weeks of moving to Hallkell's village, however, Svana meets and falls for the shepherd, Agmundr Rask. If Svana and Agmundr want to make a life together, they must first get rid of Hallkell. But can the lovers risk murder when Hallkell might return from the dead to take revenge? (with a cover by Adrian Baldwin)

"When the truth doesn't satisfy, people make up stories." An imprisoned man writes letters to his son, trying to explain the bizarre circumstances that led to his incarceration. But can his son believe him? Award-winning author Deborah Sheldon keeps you guessing with this novelette of secrets, lies, conspiracies and paranoia.Writing about 'Hand To Mouth', the author recently said: "On the surface, this is a novelette about an imprisoned man who writes letters to his son to explain why he's behind bars. It's also a sci-fi exploration of cutting-edge technology. And while Hand to Mouth is a horror story, it's a puzzle too; a layering of truth and deception, like a 'choose your own adventure' story. Ten readers will have ten different interpretations of what happened. It took a lot of drafting to work in so many possibilities."(cover by Adrian Baldwin)

Sometimes, the ties that bind are sharp enough to cut. In these eleven stories, set in contemporary Australian suburbia, Deborah Sheldon examines the darker side of family relationships.

Originally published by award-winning Ginninderra Press, '300 Degree Days and other stories' is now available as a reprint through Oscillate Wildly Press.

Her writing is intimate, compelling and alarming...' - The Short Review, UK 'I enjoyed 300 degree days for its authentic portrayal of how people behave and respond to challenges in their relationships. It's not always pretty, but it's real, and that made it a winner for me.' - Whispering Gums
