A courtroom drama set in 1966 in Sydney, the novel traces the path of a murder investigation which results in a prominent politician being charged with the murder of his young lover. An inexperienced lawyer is surprisingly engaged to brief a down and out barrister by the accused's wife, and as the facts unfold, the myriad motives of the characters become enmeshed in a legal power struggle. Death, betrayal, passion and perjury combine in a complex web, where legal tactics and ethical obligations collide. BOOK REVIEW: "Cullen writes well and the action and dialogue move along at a steady and lively pace. Unlike some first-time novelists, Cullen manages to keep himself out of the narrative and allows his characters to carry the load. The author excels at creating the ethical and tactical dilemmas faced by defence attorneys. Overall, there is no doubt a jury would deliver a unanimous favourable verdict on The Improbable Advocate." -Foreword Clarion Review.

A modern feel-good urban Cinderella-flavored tale filled with laughs, angst, and love. Hello, I'm Gretchen. I work in a tavern. My life is not pretty. Like Cinderella in the fairy tale, I know what struggle is, my reputation is in tatters, and I have serious scars. That guy over there, he's Mike, the CEO of Sumloven.com. A slick golden boy as admired and beloved as a royal prince, he takes as his due everything my life lacks. Our circles never should have crossed. My world is light years away from his. He knew it, too. From our first exchange in the virtual world, he hated me. Yet with every message, every text, it changes. We change. Am I reading more into his words than I should? Because it sure feels like there's something else between the lines...something he's not saying. No matter where our online back-and-forth leads us, I know one thing. Meeting him in person would be a disaster. He's still the idolized man the gossip rags can't stop talking about...and I'm still a public target. Even as we move from enemies to friends, the line between us widens with what we can't say.... A rich man. A woman in poverty. An intense slow burn that grows out of texts, emails, posts, and throwaway scribbles. A modern epistolary romance.

Recommended Age: From 9 to 99 years old. From the moment they were conceived in the mind of a writer, Bella and Griselda have been doomed to live out their days as mere characters in a book. One day, they decide to wrest control of their lives—if only for a day and a half—and, in so doing, risk changing their fates forever... The Awakening is the story of their adventure, the story of two princesses who rebel against the canons of their fairy-tale world and set out in search of their dreams. On the way, they learn new lessons, discover their true selves, and inspire others to change. The story of Bella and Griselda is the story of us all, of what we should do each and every day: open our eyes wide and live in accordance with what we are and what we feel, not with arbitrary conventions and mores. It is a charming, fun and defiant tale of friendship for anyone looking to cast off stereotypes and clichés and realize that we are so much more than the princes and princesses that populate the fiction of our childhoods and continue to be held up as role models even when we are adults. This book is part of the Forgotten Colors collection. A share of the proceeds from its sale will be donated to the NGO Children of India.
