"With tenderness and with a true poet's eye, Gaetano Aiello brings the streets and parklands and beaches of his native Adelaide to shimmering, sometimes phantasmagorical life. The title poem, 'The Underside of Bark,' is a meditation - gripping, hallucinatory, profound - on Australian and South Australian identity, a true dreaming." - JM Coetzee

The book, without using beliefs or constructs, logically delineates both a non-material 'who' and a material 'what' you are, used to establish your personal identity.

The Vietnam War and the act of conscription irrevocably change the lives of four teenage Australians.John Mitchell, a bespectacled bass guitarist from Melbourne with a fatalistic notion of becoming an Anzac like his emotionally fragile father and grandfather before him becomes mates with two very different characters he meets in the army who he would never have otherwise crossed paths with. Trevor "Chubby" Jackson, the apparent heir to an outback West Australian cattle station and Hedley Yangaboora, an Indigenous stockman from the same property.All three are caught up in one particularly debilitating 'friendly fire' incident in Vietnam from which only the least likely character, Hedley, manages to get his post-war life back in order.The fourth character, Frankie Jamieson, is an unrelentingly positive individual who others tend to lean on. She struggles to maintain her studies at Melbourne University while singing in a pop duo with her childhood friend Cindy Fong, granddaughter of a Chinese pear orchardist. Frankie is drawn into the protest movement.The story explores the teenage years of all the characters leading up to the boy's names being drawn from the infamous televised spinning barrel. John and Frankie's independent journeys through the band scene of 60's Melbourne, Hedley's battles with ingrained racism and dislocation and Chub's grappling with the complexities of trying to learn how to run an outback cattle station in the 1967 referendum era when unpaid Indigenous labour came to an end.Frankie's story unfolds in stark parallel contrast with the other characters as they negotiate Infantry training in their very different ways. Through Frankie, the reader experiences the street marches and eventual Police raid on Melbourne Uni's Union Building. She quits the pop duo but not her friend Cindy and becomes a protest singer around the pubs and clubs of 1970's Melbourne. Her love affair with Jack, a draft resister being supported by his union, leads to marriage and eventual tragedy.The incident in Vietnam infuses a dark uncertainty that hangs in the background of the story until the end. Hedley loses his right arm in friendly fire and both John and the reader believe John fired the shot. John keeps this to himself.After the boys are unceremoniously discharged they try to come to terms with what they have been through and grapple with 'normality' again.In later life Frankie meets John and they discover their past band connections. This is no 'senior romance,' more social worker and desperate gutter dweller. Frankie facilitates a reunion of the veterans on Hedley's cattle station. If there is a single hero in this story it is Hedley but he takes his time coming to the forefront. Once there he is unstoppable, an inspirational voice leading through extreme adversity. It is his casual revelation to John at the reunion that puts to rest the lingering mystery from the Vietnam incident and makes a mockery of lost lives.

The little community, like John, only reside there during their holidays. On this occasion John's usual peaceful time in Paradise is marred by a series of regrettable events.

Strange happenings begin to occur in the night, however no one other than John, admits to noticing anything untoward.

Dennis O'Brien is a Mechanical Engineer who was a senior director in an Australian consulting practice with branch offices in various locations around the world. He worked in many of these locations on major projects. While this was happening, he suffered from a rare disease caused by a tumour on the pituitary gland. Like many rare diseases this remained undiagnosed for years and had a major impact on his health. This included extensive time in hospital, a period of major psychosis and the amputation of his leg. The challenges of his profession were a key part in maintaining his enthusiasm despite his illness. This book recalls his experiences from his early years as very much a working-class boy through his education and employment in the engineering profession. In recent times he has taken up a role on the board of the Australian Pituitary Foundation which provides support to sufferers of pituitary conditions, education for medical staff and funds research into the diseases, all of which are rare. Proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Australian Pituitary Foundation.

Phoenicians are amazing. Sea farers, artisans and entrepreneurs from Lebanon around 1000 BCE, they had bit parts in the Bible, Homer and Egyptian and Roman history then pop out of ancient books on great adventures, spreading trade and ideas across the Mediterranean and contributing to the development of global civilisation. They had an impact on humanity that we still benefit from, and learn from, today. We also explore their dark side: slavery, child sacrifice and institutional prostitution. This book is unlike any other: it is an epic poem, a travel guide, a history book, a self-help manual, an auto-biographical memoir and a speculative political essay. It is told in 54 sonnets with footnotes, maps and illustrations guiding the reader through Phoenician history and culture, along their trading routes from China to the Baltic and into the origins of the alphabet, art, religion, philosophy, science, democracy and the colour purple plus much more. It's educational, mind-expanding and fun.

This is the second book in the series, Training Manual for Gods, which has been channelled by Sophia Ovidne from the Ascended Master Chiron who speaks to us from an unseen higher dimension. Our human consciousness is undergoing massive transformation, and all our perceptions of our current world will alter likewise. We are arriving in a new dimension of consciousness and reality, which Chiron terms Second Earth. It is a higher vibrational planet that mirrors our present First Earth, where we will still inhabit our physical forms but where we are learning how to let go of our humanness and ultimately become gods. Chiron describes the events that are moving human consciousness into this new dimension where all will live with god consciousness. Not all humans will make it there. The two Earth dimensions are currently moving away from one another, culminating in a Final Shift that will split them permanently. How will this Final Shift come about, and how can we humans prepare for it? What will happen to those who don't arrive on Second Earth and who choose to stay on First Earth? Divine gods will arrive on Second Earth too, coming down from higher dimensions. They will guide and teach humans-turned-gods how to build a new god society. What will it be like to live on Second Earth, having arrived as a human-turned-god or a divine god? This new world operates with the laws of quantum physics rather than classical physics, so what will we be experiencing? Many humans will arrive on Second Earth with little understanding of what has occurred for them and around them. Chiron explains how to prepare for the transition of their human consciousness in the final years before the Final Shift, and what faces them in the preliminary phase upon their arrival on the higher dimensional Second Earth. Second Earth is a true school for gods, and all will learn about their spirit, soul, Light Body, astral travel, manifestation, the new concept of no time, and all the other strange constructs of living in a higher dimension.
