Queentide is a feminist dystopian novel set in a near-future Australia, exploring women's resistance, state power, and the fragile boundaries between protest and extremism. Readers drawn to novels such as The Handmaid's Tale will find a provocative and unsettling exploration of power, resistance, and complicity. As violence against women escalates and freedoms are eroded in the name of national security, Australia begins to slide-quietly but decisively-towards authoritarianism. Some women choose to comply. Others choose to fight back. When fear is weaponised and radical acts force the nation to confront its own complicity, the line between protest and extremism becomes dangerously blurred. Fierce and unflinching, Queentide explores women's rage, the cost of silence, and the uncomfortable truth that resistance rarely leaves clean hands-or clear consciences. This second edition includes a new author's note reflecting on how the imagined future of Queentide, first published in 2021, has echoed into the present, along with book club resources to guide the conversations this novel is destined to spark.

This collection of stories speak to the power and resilience that comes through a relationship with God. Each story will cause you to celebrate with each writer as you walk through their stories of inspiration, tragedy, challenge, and triumph.

Australia in 2026 is not an easy place to be a woman. Authoritarianism has crept into the country. Women have lost their rights and voices. But Bodie and her militant granddaughter, Insley, are gambling everything to return them. They have set up a radical feminist group, Queentide, to steal the upcoming election and make Aboriginal politician, Kathleen, the next Prime Minister of an all-women Government. The ex-wife of a senior Minister, Lilith, vows to help them by sharing explosive secrets that will guarantee Queentide's success. But two things might stop them. A state-backed, violent men's rights group and a bitter power struggle that threatens to tear Queentide apart. Can the women harness the storm and smash the patriarchy? Or will Queentide wreck itself?
