The Pencil Case

By: Lorraine Cobcroft

A hit on the head with a pencil case began Paul Wilson's lifelong battle against the system and the pencil-pushers who tormented him... but nothing could break his indomitable spirit. Paul was a fifth generation, native-born white Australian, and a stolen child. Bureaucrats stole him twice. So-called 'women of God' and a misguided carer stole his identity, his heritage and his self-respect. Journey into the home and lives of a battling Aussie bush family and weep over cruel injustice that breaks a mother's heart and kills a father's soul. Witness child abuse and deprivation in an almost Dickensian world. Meet foster parents whose dedication and caring gives orphans and waifs hope for a future. Follow Paul's struggle through adult life, sharing his and his family's pains and joys. Celebrate his triumphs. Mourn his foolishness. Admire his strength and courage as he fights continuing injustice, haunted by demons from his past and nursing an insatiable thirst for revenge. A story that illustrates the beauty and strength of the human spirit and the power of family love.

Mystery, murder, magic, mayhem, and more.... Eight local Brisbane authors take you on a whirlwind journey through the seasons of life. Join a nun fleeing convent life, sailors hunting treasure in the exotic Caribbean seas, a widow seeking strength to live and love again, and star-crossed couples chasing the lovers' dream. Battle evil in fantasy worlds. Solve murder mysteries. Form lasting friendships with a rich array of characters who emerge living and breathing from the pages to uncover dark secrets, make you tremble in fear, grieve, weep, laugh, find love and peace... and ultimately learn to love life. In their third Anthology, members of the Fairfield Writers Group present thirteen playful, heartwarming, exciting, and intimate short stories of crime, romance, mystery, and fantasy. "Another triumph for the Fairfield Writers Group. Another collection to entice and enjoy page after page. Changing Seasons covers the full gamut of human emotions and endeavour. Fairfield Scribes have produced an anthology they could well be proud of." Estelle Pinney, Author
