“Daniel works at Artemis Global researching human immortality. Charismatic Chief Scientific Officer, Dianne Merritt, lavishes him with praise and accolades. When Tanya dies from an overdose, her boyfriend, Raf, believes Karim, Head of Security, is involved somehow. Brigid, Daniel’s mother, researches The Epic of Gilgamesh, a story highlighting the futility of his quest. As his father’s health fails, Daniel must choose whether to expose Artemis’s dubious practices or continue to reap the benefits.”

shortlisted for Green Stories International Adult Novel competition, 2020
“During a visit to an old-growth forest, Melissa, a journalist, meets activists, Tom and Eva. She comes under the spell of the forest with its rich diversity, and the mesmerising personality of Eva. She and Tom become lovers, but realise they cannot be together. After a forest fire, Eva disappears, and Melissa is asked to investigate what happened to her. What she discovers tests her belief in telling the truth above all else, or acting for the greater good.”
