In a remote outpost, stands an old post office. It hasn’t been officially operational in over twenty years, yet letters still arrive – letters with no return addresses, written to the lost, the departed, and the forgotten.

The keeper of these letters is The Postmaster, a solitary figure who has spent decades tending to this unusual archive. The postmaster started the tradition years ago, when his wife died. He placed an ad in a long-forgotten newspaper “For words left unsaid, send them here. The lost deserve to be remembered. They still listen”. Over time people wrote, and word of mouth spread, and people kept writing. The Postmaster reads each one, carefully storing them away, believing that every heartfelt word deserves a home.

A poetic and haunting exploration of grief, memory, longing, and the human need to be heard, The Lost Letter Outpost asks: if you could send one last message to the ones you’ve lost, what would you say?

I think I want to try and write something on my own, develop those skills, then work with the mob on the island for their project. I’m away for work too much over this timeline to really do it justice. So, flying solo… 

When Jodie’s parents installed solar panels and stocked emergency supplies, it seemed harmless. Sensible, even. 

But now they don’t believe in medicine. 

Or elections. 

Or Jodie. 

They share endless ‘truth bombs’ from influencers with no credentials and million-strong followings. Jodie knows what she’s seeing: radicalisation, disguised as community. 

But no one’s coming to intervene. 

There’s no hotline. 

No help. 

Just her. 

If she wants to save them, she’ll have to lie – create a fake crisis they believe more than the one they’re living in. And once you start lying to the deluded, where does it end?

Despite my traumatic childhood people ask me “Why do you still attend Church every Sunday?” My response is “I have always had a strong childlike belief in God which has never left me.”

Stolen Childhood is the powerful story of Aunty Valerie’s life. Aunty Valerie is part of Australia’s stolen generation. This is her story of struggle through childhood and the inspirational testimony of how she found her way back to Country. 

Quinn is the youngest child of Mother Helena, Queen of the space colony, Lumen. He embarks on the journey of self-discovery and the odd occurrence of forbidden spiritual connection. Although he has been set to marry the princess of a neighbouring colony, he’s suddenly immersed with dreams of a mystery earth man (Xavier), who he begins to trust and who fuels Quinn’s passion to live his most authentic life. His mother and two sisters grow suspicious of Quinns sudden interest in humankind, and he is told that his species is far more advanced than their human ancestral lineage, so he should focus on his royal duties.

Throughout the story, Quinn and Xavier come to realise that they are bound in their Somnium and are intertwining their Hum at the same time. From that moment on, they begin to learn and grow as one in their dream world, hoping one day to make their dreams become a reality. The one thing that stands in their way is Quinn’s controlling mother, and an inevitable prophecy made by the High Priestess.
