A Simple Twist of Fate

By Deb Gray, Garry Baker

Key Sales Points:

* Deb Gray lived her life defying expectations. When the Gippsland fisherman’s daughter was born with no arms and only tiny legs in 1956, her parents were urged to put her in an institution and forget her. ‘She’s our little one and we’re taking her home,’ her mother said. An act of love and courage.

* A Simple Twist Of Fate is a powerful and inspiring memoir. It is Deb’s story, in her own words, of a life of love and courage.

* A Story of Resilience: Deb seemed a textbook example of the most catastrophic form of injuries inflicted on unborn babies by the German-made drug Thalidomide. But she was conceived well before the drug was ever prescribed in Australia and before any Thalidomide victims were born outside of Germany.

* A Life Defined by Strength: With no scientific reason and nobody or no one to blame, Deb decided as a teenager that her body was “a simple twist of fate.” Life would be what she made it.

* Lived on Her Own Terms: Deb did not just survive to tell her story, she tackled life fiercely and on her own terms: working, swimming, travelling the world, attending rock concerts, driving fast, looking for love and meaning.

* An engaging and uplifting memoir that is perfect for readers of memoir, human interest stories and books about overcoming whatever life throws at you.

Publicity: * Strong interest from national media campaign, book events and interviews.

Author Bio:

Deb Gray lived a life of resilience, adventure and independence. Born in 1957 with, in Deb’s words, “no hands, no feet, that’s me,” her parents were urged to put her in an institution and forget about her. They didn’t, and Deb refused to let her body define her. From a childhood spent defying expectations to raising a daughter and travelling the world, Deb’s story is one of courage and strength. Deb passed away in March 2025 just two months after releasing her memoir, A Simple Twist of Fate, was first released. Wilkinson Publishing is proud to publish this edition of Deb’s memoir, updated to include a note from Deb’s daughter Emma who writes that Deb’s ‘legacy and spirit live on in these pages.’

‘No hands, no feet, that’s me. I lived my dream. You can too.’ –Deb Gray. A Simple Twist of Fate is the story of the Gippsland fisherman’s daughter born in 1957 with no arms and only tiny legs, who thanks to the love, courage and support of her family, local community and her own determination and resilience went on to live an inspiring life full of love and meaning.

As Deb’s writes in the book’s prologue: ‘I want to tell my story, and I want it told with frankness and honesty… the way it has been. I want to tell of the love and devotion and of family and friends and in particular the importance of being accepted by the community during my early developing years and the choices I consciously made whilst trying to find people that did not feel they had to look after me and would utilise me as a friend. Then came the absolute joy of becoming a parent myself. So, here is my journey. The highs and lows; the sugar and the shit.’

Saint Augustine said, "The dead are invisible, not absent." We carry the genes, the culture, and the stories of those who came before us.

Every family’s past shapes how we understand time and place. In 1924, Alice tells a terrible lie to reinvent herself, seeking refuge in the ill-fated Western Australian Group Settlement Scheme.

But the past is not so easily erased. As she struggles to forget, fear silences her, and history leaves her behind.

Decades later, Jarrah begins to unravel the mystery of Alice’s silence.

Author Bio:

Joanne Patmore is a devoted amateur historian, an insatiable reader, and a guardian of family stories. She grew up in the fading timber town of Karridale, spending summers swimming in the Blackwood River with her three older siblings. Seeking identity beyond her roots, she moved to the city for study and work before venturing abroad. During her Master of Arts at York St John University, homesickness for Australia inspired her debut novel, reimagining the landscapes and stories of her childhood. Now back in Bridgetown, on Pibulmum and Wadandi land, Joanne has reconnected with her past. She spends her days reading, writing, and uncovering history turning forgotten stories into fiction.

Following a trail of buried secrets from Australia to England, she pieces together a hidden past one that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about family and identity.

Oasis

Their Breakthrough Year

By Paul Slattery, and Foreword by Noel Gallagher

A collection of photos of Oasis taken on the road during their breakthrough year published to coincide with the band's longawaited reunion.

At the beginning of 1994 Oasis were unknown, though signed to Creation Records. Things changed with the release of their album 'Definitely Maybe', which became the fastest selling British debut album at the time.

That year was one of meteoric change, with Liam and Noel Gallagher setting off on a major tour.

Oasis: Their Breakthrough Year is an evocative collection of photos of Oasis taken during that time.

Rock photographer Paul Slattery was with the band throughout the year, having been tipped off to the band's potential by producer Mark Coyle, who played Paul early versions of 'Definitely Maybe' when the band where still in the studio.

Author Bio:

Paul Slattery took his first rock photos in June 1975, of Link Wray at the London Lyceum. Between 1978 and 1985 he was a regular contributor to Sounds magazine, and since then has photographed a veritable who's who of rock 'n' rollers on four continents. His work has appeared in NME, Q, Uncut, Mojo, Classic Rock and Japan's Rockin On, and in over a hundred books. While he continues to photograph rock bands, he also enjoys travel and landscape photography and is presently involved in a long project to photograph all of Britain's native orchids. He is married and lives in Brentford, West London.

Oasis Their Breakthrough Year combines photos from on and off stage, with their gigs throughout the year ranging from sparsely attended shows around the UK to sold-out performances in the U.S. and Japan.

The Who

by Tom Wright

By Andy Neill and Foreword by Pete Townshend

Tom Wright first met Pete Townshend at Ealing Art School in the early 60s. He became The Whos official tour photographer and manager from 1967 in the US, also managing the Grande Ballroom in Detroit where The Whos rock opera Tommy premiered. He was much more than the bands photographer; he was a friend and photographed them right up to their farewell tour in 1991.

Toms vast record collection and musical influences had a big impact on the band in their early years. Their Generation covers The Whos first tours of North America, a hugely creative time with explosive performances both on and off stage, the time of their US hit I Can See for Miles and much more.

Through the fabulous photographs, many of which have never been seen before, we see the band backstage, onstage, on tour, at rehearsal, at ease, in studio, at home. The photos will be accompanied by extended captions providing background details of the time, the people and the places. As well as The Who, Tom Wright toured with the Rolling Stones, the Faces, The James Gang, J. D. Elvis Costello, The Eagles and many more, documenting their performances and life on the road.

The

Who Won't Get Fooled Again

By Michael A. O'Neill

The Who defined a generation and rocked the world. "My Generation,", "Pinball Wizard," and "Baba ORiley" are some of the most well-known tracks in rock history. The rock opera Tommy, the genre-defining Live at Leeds, and the classic Quadrophenia are just some of The Whos albums.

The bands original lineup had an amazing 15-year span, as they toured their way around the globe, performing live and recording until the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. Then John Entwhistle died in 2002, but the remaining founding members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend continue to tour.

Won’t get Fooled Again takes you on the journey with the band as they conquered the world: from small London clubs to Madison Square Garden, from seven-inch vinyl releases to multimillion-selling albums, all the way to recognition as global rock gods.

The stories behind the music with an album-by-album analysis and accompanied by images from many of the most well-known contemporary rock photographers gives a unique insight into one of the most influential groups in the history of rock music.

Steely Dan

Reelin' in the Years

By Brian Sweet

Reelin' In The Years is the acclaimed biography of Steely Dan. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, a couple of cynical New York jazz fans wormed their way into a record contract and astonished critics with their first album Can't Buy a Thrill in 1973. Nine albums later, they were among the biggest selling acts in the world.

Steely Dan was different from the rest of rock's super-sellers. They rarely gave interviews and, after some early bad experiences on the road, they refused to tour. They didn't have their photographs taken and few people knew what they looked like. Steely Dan wasn’t even a proper group; it was two musicians and a producer, yet every top-notch player in the world lined up to appear on their albums.

This book draws back the veil of secrecy that surrounded Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Here is the story of how they made their music and lived their lives.

Brian Sweet, former editor and publisher of Metal Leg, the Steely Dan fanzine, draws back the veil of secrecy that has surrounded Becker and Fagen. Here is the true story of how they made their music and lived their lives. Includes many photographs and a complete discography.

Journey to the Centre of the Cramps

By Dick Porter

More than a band, the Cramps are a uniquely special rock ‘n’roll phenomenon that has endured for over 35 years. Formed in the creative maelstrom of late 1970’s New York by Ohio natives Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy Rorschach (Kirsty Wallace), the Cramps not only originated the psychobilly subgenre but also left behind an unsurpassable legacy of blisteringly good, primal rock’n’roll.

Based upon work and materials compiled for the acclaimed and now much sought after 2007 Cramps biography A Short History of Rock’n’roll Psychosis, Journey to the Centre of the Cramps goes far beyond being a revised and updated edition: Completely overhauled, rewritten and vastly expanded, it now represents the definitive work on the group. In addition to unseen interview material from Ivy, Lux and other former band members, Journey to the Centre of the Cramps also sees the Cramps story through to its conclusion, recounting Luxs unexpected death in 2009, the subsequent dissolution of the group and their enduring legacy. The Cramps history, influences and the cast of characters in and around the group are likewise explored in far greater depth. Features unseen first-hand interview material from Lux Interior and Poison Ivy. A wealth of new interview material with former band members and other key players in the bands history and never before seen/rare photographs and ephemera to help illustrate the book.

Secret Kuala Lumpur

By Lam Seng Fatt

Two grotesque statues of lersi (Thai hermits) which have become deities for gamblers praying for lucky lottery numbers, the graves of the outcast Ahmadiyya followers which are far away from the mainstream Muslim cemetery, a Russian Orthodox Church which boasts Malaysian converts, the graves of a married couple of Muslim missionaries from Baghdad which have become a shrine, the little known colonial crest of Kuala Lumpur found on the portico of an old building and Victorian gargoyles spitting out water in an old fountain...these are things unknown to most residents of the city. Away from the modern shopping malls filled with designer brands, the skyscrapers and usual touristy sites with stalls selling kitschy souvenirs, there are still some interesting secrets to be discovered in Kuala Lumpur in the back lanes and byways of the concrete jungle.

Injury-Free Running

Your Illustrated Guide to Biomechanics, Gait Analysis, and Injury Prevention

By Tom C. Michaud

This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury-free for a long time to come. Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider that the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year. The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful.

Kind Business

How Values Create Value

By Dr. David Cooke

Kind Business is about doing business differently. It outlines the business case for a long-term focus on stakeholder primacy over a short-term focus on shareholder primacy. The equation is simple; if a business does good then the business will do well. Can you imagine a world where corporations prioritise their people, their customers and society’s wellbeing alongside investor returns. In Kind Business Dr David Cooke journeys through the evolution of commerce, from its humble origins to the complex corporate structures of today. Kind Business scrutinises contemporary boardroom decisions, challenging the status quo and advocating for change. This book exposes the flaws of profit-driven business practices that are focused on short-term returns which overshadow long-term sustainability. Dr Cooke contends that the root cause lies in leadership failure, where decisions neglect the broader stakeholder ecosystem Numerous contemporary business case studies are cited from Qantas to Rio Tinto and PwC along with spectacular fails globally. But there is hope. Kind Business offers a blueprint for a new era of corporate responsibility, emphasising the integration of people and planet into leadership strategies. Embrace a future where values create value, where businesses do well by doing good. Can you imagine such a world? Kind Business shows us that it’s not only possible but demonstrates through research, case studies and practical guidelines how to build a business with a long-term sustainable future.

Letting Go, Finding You

Uncover Your Truest Self through the Enneagram and Contemplation

By Hunter Mobley, Suzanne Stabile

Rethink everything you believe about yourself because of your Enneagram number and embrace the virtues of your type. Hunter Mobley has been an Enneagram teacher for years, working with people who have read all the books and completed all the programs, only to find they are still getting caught in the same patterns of behavior. Too many of us are stuck on the treadmill of consumer spirituality, clinging to the illusion that we are in charge of our own spiritual growth and development. But the path of true transformation, according to Mobley, isn't in doing more, but in doing less in letting go of control and adopting a contemplative posture that will naturally lead us to our true self. The key to unlocking this contemplative path is in understanding a fundamental but often-missed aspect of Enneagram teaching: the Enneagram virtues. Most of us focus our Enneagram work on trying to overcome the passion of our Enneagram number. Sometimes referred to as the "sin," this is the expression of our personality that habitually gets us into trouble and blocks us from growth. The lesser-known virtues, on the other hand, describe the God-image in us and are the best articulations of our true selves. The Enneagram mystery hiding in plain sight is that how we have come to know ourselves (reflected by our passion) is the opposite of who we truly are (which is reflected by our virtue). We don't have to struggle against our passion; we can simply let go and embrace the virtue that has always been at our center.

The Hype about Hydrogen, Revised Edition

False Promises and Real Solutions in the Race to Save the Climate

By Joseph J Romm

For decades, we've been promised that a hydrogen economy is just around the corner: a high-tech Eden in which our cars, homes, and industries would be powered not by fossil fuels but by hydrogen from pollution-free sources. After billions in investment, hydrogen has failed to live up to these overblown promises. Yet it is as hyped as ever, a target of media enthusiasm and hefty investment from government and industry. Is it time to accept that the "fuel of the future" may never arrive? In 2003, energy expert Joesph J. Romm wrote The Hype About Hydrogen to explain why hydrogen wasn't the panacea we were promised and may never be.

Arctic Passages

Ice, Exploration, and the Battle for Power at the Top of the World

By Kieran Mulvaney

Almost two centuries after British explorer Sir John Franklin and his men died amid paralysing cold and ice in pursuit of the mythical Northwest Passage, the Arctic in response to temperatures greater than at any time in the last ten thousand years is melting at an alarming pace. Instead of heeding this clear sign that the world must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to prevent runaway warming, countries such as the United States, Russia, China, and Canada are instead racing to control newly ice-free waters and the riches in the seabed below. But by choosing short-term self-interest over cooperative action, they may be condemning the world to an uninhabitable future. Uniquely among books on climate change and the Arctic, Arctic Passages ties together past, present, and future, showing how historical fancies of a navigable Arctic are becoming future realities.

Dots and Lines

Hidden Networks in Social Media, AI, and Nature

By Anthony Bonato

Can networks unlock secrets of AI or make sense of a social media mess? A behind-the-scenes look at how networks reveal reality. According to mathematician Anthony Bonato, the hidden world of networks permeates our lives in astounding ways. From Bitcoin transactions to neural connections, his book explains how networks shape everything from political landscapes to climate patterns and how deceptively simple dots and lines can unveil the wonders of technology, society, and even nature. From a fresh and startling look at the true impact of clever keywords in politicians' social media posts to a fun breakdown of survival strategies in reality TV shows, Bonato shows us how network theory operates everywhere. Each chapter focuses on a unique aspect of networks to reveal how they provide a captivating lens for bringing diverse phenomena into clearer focus.

A

poetic response to child sexual abuse in the Roman Catholic Church

By Anne Elvey

Key Sales Points:

* An important perspective on sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. * Honours the Loud Fence movement of survivors of child sexual abuse * An original new collection by recognised Australian poet, Anne Elvey * A testament to the importance and wide-ranging power of poetry.

The poems in this collection respond to the failed institutional responses to child sexual abuse as detailed in the Australian Royal Commission report handed down in 2017. The poems reflect the writer’s own background in the Roman Catholic tradition and her situation as a settler on stolen First Nations’ lands and the related institutional failures in both cases. Poet and researcher Anne Elvey was part of a group of four whistleblowers who approached the Vicar-General of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne more than three decades ago about the behaviour of a parish priest, now deceased, whom the diocese has since accepted was serially abusing children. In these poems, a sense of the sacredness of matter stands alongside lament for the loss of church as a community because significant church leaders did not honour the sacred in the community’s own most vulnerable members. (C)loud begins with lament, then explores the poet’s experience of being part of the problem and her increasingly fraught relationship to an inherited tradition of Roman Catholicism.

Transported

By Kate Fitzpatrick

Key Sales Points:

* Transported is a gripping speculative novel set in the year 2000, unpacking Australia and Britain’s colonial legacy through the lens of a teenage girl who is coming of age in a fractured world. * The novel is a coming-of-age story about falling in love across class boundaries and what happens when a nation builds walls around what they fear. * Written by a bold new voice in Australian fiction that is genre-defying, fearless and deeply relevant

Modern-day Britain in the year 2000 has slid away from a democratic system. Australia remains a penal colony in the UK’s outright possession since 1788. Transportation with hard labour awaits all who transgress even slightly. The penalty for escape is death, yet a small but committed Resistance movement thrives. The plot follows clever, cosseted 17-year-old Matilda Watson. Her life capsizes when her elite government employee parents are unmasked as core Resistance leaders, tortured and transported. The regime restricts women and girls; all Matilda wants is to get married at 18 like the others at her private school. Overnight, however, she becomes one of the most infamous faces in Britain. Forced to leave her home, she’s abandoned to the savage flip side of the lacquered world she grew up in. Offered social rehabilitation within the regime by one man and equality on the wrong side of the law by another, Matilda is forced to question how she has been used and things she believes to be true about herself.

The Complete Beginner's Guide to Japan

The Imperial History, Culture and Society

By April Madden

In the beginning, the story goes, two gods conjured the islands out of primordial cha- os with the tip of a sacred spear. The 'Great Eight-Island Country', Japan has always followed its own unique path, often alone through centuries of deliberate isolation. Contact and conflict with other nations has often taken the form of flashpoints of social and technological shock: firearms, trade ships electric light and atom bombs. Yet despite the challenges that have beset it from outside and from within, Japan has maintained and expanded its singular and compelling culture for thousands of years.

Today Japan is a key player on the world stage, a technological powerhouse, and an icon of non-aggressive international policy. Amid its hi-tech cities, ancient shrines call the faithful to venerate heavenly gods and the spirits of the land. Glittering technological marvels vie with traditional folklore; culinary practices and ceremonies to beguile visitors; and ancient buildings still hide in the shadows of the new.

My Body's Power Pack

How to Manage your Energy and Stay in Charge!

By Sandhya Menon

You know how sometimes you feel all charged up, great and in control, and other times you feel like you just CAN'T, where those emotions grow and come crashing down?

My Body's Power Pack explains why that happens, what can help and how you can beat those Dremlins when they come along!

My Body's Power Pack uses elements of neuroscience to help children understand why their energy ebbs and flows, and why this may cause dysregulation.

It provides gentle neuro-affirmative coping strategies, including the basics of energy accounting (which is like the popular 'spoons theory' for adults).

The story arc introduces the idea of Dremlins (drainer gremlins, who 'drain' a child's energy) as a metaphor for tough events.

The book empowers children with language to understand their experiences, offers suggestions on what the child can do to cope, and offering advice and support for parents and carers too.

Little does he know though, the answer to all his suffering may not lie on the little blue planet he calls home. But in the cosmos beyond.

My Name is Samim

By Fidan Meikle

"I must make it. I will make it. And I will tell their stories."

Thirteen-year-old Samim is a loyal friend, a gifted chess player and a refugee. After his family is killed in a bombing, Samim makes a long, dangerous journey from Afghanistan to the UK. But even then, his safety isn’t guaranteed: Samim must tell his story to convince the authorities to let him stay for good. Samim relives the perils he faced and remembers the many friends he made and lost the intrepid girl who dressed as a boy for safety, the courageous grandmother seeking a new home for her nine grandchildren, and especially his funny, spirited best friend Zayn. With his past never forgotten, Samim begins to build a new life in the UK: starting school and making new friends. But he also faces bigoted bullies and an uncertain future. Will Samim be granted asylum and allowed to stay in his new home?

My Name is Samim is a heartbreaking yet hopeful story of courage, resilience and friendship. Highlighting the experiences of young refugees and asylum-seekers, readers will empathise with Samim as he strives for a safe home and a better future.

Fidan Meikle is a stunning new voice in middle-grade fiction. Her wry, heartfelt and immersive writing will draw readers into Samims world.
