Mine (November, 2025)  

A Novel 

In the furnace of a burning Queensland summer, Nerida Carroll is no stranger to protest lines. A sharp-tongued Wiradjuri lawyer turned activist, she’s made her life out of standing firm—against governments, corporations, and anyone who dares to silence her.

Then she meets Mali Crowe.


A notorious Gomeroi warrior whose name is whispered through court filings and protest camps alike, he is fire in human form—uncompromising, relentless, dangerous in the way gravity is dangerous.

 

When their worlds collide on the frontline of a coal and gas blockade, sparks fly hotter than the land they’re fighting to protect. Their attraction is fierce, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. But as police lines tighten and corporations push harder, Nerida and Mali must decide whether their connection is a distraction—or the most powerful act of resistance they have.

Gulibaa (2026)

A Novel

When Gulibaa Crowe steps into the courthouse for the first time, she carries more than a case file—she carries generations of struggle, memory, and unfinished reckonings.

 

The daughter of a movement and the voice of a new one, Gulibaa stands at the crossroads between law and lore, seeking justice not just for one family, but for all those whose stories were silenced.

 

Outside, the streets burn with protest and hope. Inside, the weight of history presses against every verdict. From the embers of the Embassy firelight to the relentless glare of media cameras, Gulibaa traces one woman’s fight to honour her people, her ancestors, and herself—no matter the cost.

A sweeping, emotional journey through courage, culture, and truth, this novel is both a courtroom drama and a song of resistance—an unforgettable testament to what it means to reclaim voice, place, and power.
