We are just finalising the cover work and proofing so it is getting close. This second book is a little different than the first although still contemporary Australian fiction. I will keep you posted on when it will be available. Thanks for your interest in the novels and I'm glad you enjoyed 'The Shack by the Bay.' Lea(less)

Quotes by Lea Davey  (?)

“Never stop reading, Luke. The words from the pages make me feel like I'm right there, like I can smell the sea and hear the wind. It's my one regret that I didn't read much over the years. How can you learn about all the things happening in the world if you don't read?”
Lea Davey, The Shack by the Bay

“Where have the years gone, Ruby Rose? Sometimes I have to stop and think about how old I am. When I wake up in the morning, before I move this tired old body or look in the blasted mirror, I swear I'm still a young man. It just feels like yesterday. I don't know how it's gone so fast.”
Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets

“When I’m up here, it’s as if I’m floating and everything else has been left below. My mind settles as I climb the mountain and I feel at peace. The ancient trees with their rough bark wrap around me like silk cocoons. Their solid trunks and tendril roots grip the ground as if to say, I will hold you, I will not let go. The air is clear, not sticky or musty, and there’s a breeze that wings its way through the branches, the leaves and across my face. The world below ceases to exist. If I close my eyes I float above the surface of the earth and … I feel calm.’

Bobby Carlon”

Topics Mentioning This Author

“We were kids, bound by secrets. We’d taken vows, the sort of oaths that kids make. Secrets that we swore to each other we would never repeat. I wanted to tell someone and I often thought about it, even years later. ‘Silkworm Secrets’ Lea Davey”
Lea Davey, Silkworm Secrets

“I swear conversation is such hard work! To make myself understood, it’s like I have to speak in an unknown foreign language, every minute of every day.’
'The Reason I Jump' by Naoki Higashida”
Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump: the Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism

“Finally, finally, I’ll calm down and come back to my-self. Then I see no sign of the tsunami attack-only the wreckage I’ve made. And when I see that, I hate myself. I just hate myself.”
Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump: the Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism
