Reviews:
"Fair Day is a celebration of Australia Day but it’s also a  disturbing warning of how we are evolving – and devolving – as a nation.  The comedic situations are all disturbingly familiar, at least  initially until they go horribly wrong. There’s nought wrong with this  book though. It’s a highly enjoyable read with a uniquely macabre  climax."  - Glam Adelaide

Aaron  is a homemaker. He knows his domain. He's in charge of everything at  home and he is perfect in his role until his marriage begins to falter.  The distance between Aaron and his husband David plunges Aaron into a  discovery of life and his body beyond the confines of his marriage.  Aaron must decide if he will continue to experiment with his newfound  pleasures or resist them and resign himself to the position of  traditional homemaker.

Featuring 17 illustrations and cover design by Andrew Crooks.

Like  all good Catholic boys I care what Jesus thinks. Jesus--both the  man  and the faith. Following him makes me happy. There's just one  issue... I  think I'm gay. Well, it's hard to be sure while going to an  all-boys  school. It could be a matter of simply liking what I know, and  really,  oh so very much liking what I see all day--guys. Being gay and  Catholic  can't possibly work together. Can it? Coming Out Catholic follows a year in the life of a private Catholic school student as he   comes to terms with his sexuality and the dreaded loss of his faith.   Armed with sarcasm and his best friend Mark, he prepares to take on the   school thug and the awkward social encounters plaguing his late  teenage  years.
