Georgia’s first novel What I Would Do to You, won Best Debut Book at the 2025 Davitt Awards and was shortlisted for Best Crime Fiction Debut at the 2025 Danger Awards. Georgia has worked as a psychologist with both serious violent offenders and victim-survivors of crime. She was also the Senior Inspector Prosecutions for RSPCA Queensland.

Her new novel begins when the central, eponymous character, Dove, has a violent confrontation with the man next door. In response she paints a sign on the front wall of her Sunshine Coast hinterland farm: 'What would you do if you had a whole day on earth free of men?'

When tourists and local women respond by writing their answers on the wall, declaring their pent-up frustrations, their fears and confessions, it strikes a nerve.

With nowhere to hide from exposed secrets and shameful legacies, tensions rise, just as the town hits the headlines over a missing teen.

Why, Kate Holden asks, must an essay dash like an arrow to its arrival, piercing and startling as it goes?

In this series of six essays, bound together around the idea of longing and belonging, of exile and home, Holden proves that an essay can be much more than a simple dash.

Each one is a grand collection of ideas that shoot off in every direction, suddenly switching and, yes, returning to pierce the reader with their lyricism and acuity.

We are in the hands of a master: Holden is wonderfully ambitious, reaching for the profound, the real, for a description of where we came from and where we are. It is a treasure.

In The Titanic Story of Evelyn Lisa Wilkinson - one of Australia's most admired and respected media personalities - explores the life of the only Australian survivor of the sinking of the Titanic. She tells the story of a brave young nurse who wanted to see the world, fell in love, but then almost lost it all in one of the greatest maritime tragedies ever known.

Somehow, the courageous role Evelyn Marsden played in the hours after the ship hit an iceberg has been forgotten. In this fascinating book Wilkinson brings together the drama of that night with Evelyn’s own extraordinary story.

Lisa Wilkinson’s own story (told in the 2023 autobiography It Wasn’t Meant to Be Like This) is also remarkable. Hired as a girl Friday for the teen magazine Dolly, within two years she became the editor - the youngest-ever of a national magazine - a position she used to triple the circulation before being head-hunted over to Cleo by Kerry Packer himself. Many years later she was inevitably drawn into the world of television, co-hosting the Nine Network’s Today Show, before, eventually, joining the Ten Network as host of its prime-time award-winning news and current affairs program The Project.

Currently focused on her writing, Lisa is married to journalist and bestselling author Peter FitzSimons. They have three children.
