Aster’s good, Right Things by Kate Gordon
Publisher: Yellow Brick Road, (Date Released 1 November 2020)
I can’t let go of them – the good, right things—because if I do I’ll turn into a cloud and I’ll float away,
and a storm will come and blow me to nothing.”
Aster attends a school for gifted kids, but she doesn’t think she’s special at all. If she was, her mother wouldn’t have left. Each day Aster must do a good, right thing—a challenge she sets herself, to make someone else’s life better. Nobody can know about her ‘things’, because then they won’t count. And if she doesn’t do them, she’s sure everything will go wrong. Then she meets Xavier. He has his own kind of special missions to make life better. When they do these missions together, Aster feels free, but if she stops doing her good, right things will everything fall apart?

Regency romance author, Luella Linley, arranges her characters’ lives, making sure that they weather all storms and live happily-ever-after. Her characters are putty in her hands, but her 21st Century adult children are not so easily organized. When her daughter, Megan, asks for support with an inappropriate situation at work, Luella decides Megan should get a boyfriend to intimidate her boss. The cop who just pulled Luella over for speeding is a likely candidate.
Cam Fletcher is expecting to be interviewed by a famous author. Instead of sharing insights into his job as a police officer, he is sharing a meal with the famous author and her daughter, Megan. When left alone with Megan, Cam wonders when the interview will begin. The parents’ extended absence gives him a clue, which Megan confirms. Luella Linley is playing matchmaker, but is he willing to play the game?

Oma and Opa’s Song by Jenny Gillan
Publisher: Listening Beyond Hearing, (Date Released: 3 October 2020)
The world indeed is big and scary but love and kindness seeps through in the most unexpected of places.

The Swimmer and other Stories of Life Edited by Mark Worthing , Pete Court , and James Cooper
Publisher: Immortalise, (Release date 1 November 2020)
The Swimmer is the fifth instalment of the Stories of Life series. In it, people from around the world share their extraordinary stories of faith and life. Some tales are humorous, others are entertaining and upbeat. But not all are happy stories. Many writers describe how they were found by a loving God in the midst of doubts and great suffering, and the circumstances don’t always get easier. But the message still comes through loud and clear that God is faithful, near and active in the lives of ordinary people. A poignant tale about a swimmer, which points to the extraordinary beauty and vitality of the human spirit, is this year’s title story. In all these stories we discover that there is something extraordinary to be seen when God works in the lives of ordinary people.
