    I wrote these poems as an Aussie farmer during the drought in 2019. 2019 was the last year of the drought, we had already suffered however for 4 years without rain. There were extreme bushfires swallowing the country and even worst dust storms that occurred multiple times a day, it felt there was no escape from the madness that had become our daily lives. These poems were a voice for that frustration and writing it down was my own personal plea of desperation. Right after the draught in 2019 however we got flooding in early 2020, welcomed flooding by most except for those who lost most of there homes and belongs. And well soon after that we had the pandemic hit Australia pretty hard where we went in lock down mid April. Everyday the news spreading so much fear. We were scared to leave our homes. Again I wrote more poetry to cope with the fact that we had just come from one hell the draught to now this new hell the pandemic! It honestly felt like tHe fried would never end. These poems are a representation of that time. I hope you all enjoy.

    A story about the Australian 2020 Megafires. Envisioned through a male character, the reader witnesses and understands the true fears that Australian's felt during this time; just how merciless these flames were; and the masculine pressures to appear brave and placid. On a more personal note, this short story is a reflection of climate anxiety, and how I fear for this summer, next summer, and the summers to come. As this is a nation-wide experience, I feel silly expressing distress when others had it worse. This is that story.

    After summer lightning come the fires... Ken could smell the distinctive scent of burning eucalyptus. Although he was safely inside the house with the windows shut, smoke whispered through air vents and under doors, carried west from the bushfire raging out of control in the hills behind the city. A WINNER in the "Hella Bad Weather" photo contest by @The_Bookshop! (BTW This is basically the same story which appears in my Beach Apples collection, edited after feedback from the contest)

    "You are my drug. I need you to keep me alive," she gasped, tugging him closer. "Too much of a drug can kill, you know," he warned, his blackened gaze mirroring her desire tenfold. "You're a risk I'm willing to take. After all, my own Alpha wouldn't kill me." His eyes gleamed with wicked pride. "Never underestimate me, Mara." ~~~ Her body belongs to her Alpha, her soul to her King, while her heart should be her mate's. But when he comes seeking her love, will she have anything left to give him? Mara is an ecological consultant, responsible for the health of her territory's environment and natural resources. But more importantly, she is her Alpha's lover, and as deadly bushfires rage across the continent, in his arms is the safest place to be. Alpha Lucas' territory is one of the last remaining refuges amongst the blackened terrain, but when a lowly Omega begins promising new life to those left wandering packless, Mara is forced to rethink her very definition of safety. Friends turn enemies, and soon she has to break every pack rule to survive. Will she find the cure her diseased mother needs, or will empty promises leave her soul broken? When her own life is threatened, will her true mate be able to look past the ugly scars she already bears? Can one man's sacrifice bring healing to a ravaged continent, and hope to a girl with nothing left? Book 4 in The Alphas' Territory Series
