Spicy loves sharing moments of her life with her pen pal Rainey. Through letters, she tells of her scary experience the first time she almost had her claws clipped, why she wears a special collar to keep her in the back yard, games she has invented, and whether it's okay to be a scaredy cat. Spicy and Rainey decided it would be fun to share some of these letters with you. We hope you enjoy them.

"All of my perpetrators are dead. I didn't kill'em, in case you're wondering... even though many times I would've liked to." So begins the story of Probity Jones. Part spy novel, part murder mystery, part coming-of-age saga, "Chrysalis" is based on a true story and weaves together fact and fiction, international politics, the CIA, torture, mind control, MKUltra, satanic ritual abuse, and growing up in a very small town.

A skillfully woven story that makes the experience of a personal relationship with Jesus understandable for the young people to whom it is addressed, "My Best Mate" is told from the point of view of an eleven-year-old Australian and addresses perennial issues of doubt and faith along with contemporary social issues such as peer pressure and racism. Includes a glossary of unfamiliar Australian terms.
