'Weather doesn’t just happen: it’s made. 

'Every hundred years the climatic cycle must be re-balanced by activating the five Elemental Scrolls but Jess, the only witch who can, is missing.

'Her father, Milt, and Wallace – a reluctant witch and police detective –are manipulated by the coven's Sisterhood into finding Jessica before the world flips into permanent drought. 

'The only clue to finding her is a genetically sentient ring.

'Determined to stop them is Dragos, a demon. He wants to activate the fifth scroll (Akashic) that bars the Demon’s Gate. If he succeeds the parallel worlds of demons and men will be cataclysmically joined for the next century.

'Jess must discover her courage, power and determination by time travelling to the future and back, before crossing the River Styx to return with the key that holds the fate of the world.'

1 y separately published work icon Last Caravan to Carmelsara Jack Garrety , Tugun : For-sail Pty Ltd , 2018 18684532 2018 single work novel fantasy

'The Torian, head of the Commonwealth, is dying and his replacement has not yet been found.

'Neah, a warrior princess and former slave, receives a prophecy that the new Torian will be one of 800 refugees in a caravan fleeing the invading Shaelene army. Shayla, a dark sorceress and Queen of the Shaelene, is equally determined to find and kill the new Torian before he, or she, can be anointed.

'Caleb, a disgraced Commander in the Commonwealth army, has been charged with protecting the caravan. Provided with only seven soldiers and a duplicitous wizard to help him he is given little chance.

'Trapped within the forced intimacy of the caravan Caleb and Neah must try and thrust aside their bitter hostilities in order to protect the new Torian from the marauding Shaelene, Shayla’s assassins and a host of mythical, vicious creatures that stand between them and the safety of Carmelsara. In doing so they will have to leave the relative safety of their natural distrust and together weave something new and untried because in a world overtaken by greed only love has the power to save it.

'If they fail the whole world will fall into decades of darkness.'

1 The Box Paul Garrety , 2010 single work short story
— Appears in: One Book Many Brisbanes : Fifth Anthology of Brisbane Stories 2010; (p. 212-222)
'Dahlia packs Gino into a maxi taxi and takes him to the river at Orleigh Park. Their story unfolds like Gino emerging from his contortionist's box, little at a time, revealing more than was originally apparent until Kahlia's story is laid out on the grass of the West End park. This is a richly textured tale of betrayed love with a whispered hint of otherworldliness, a delightful taste of the unexpected within a much loved Brisbane dish.'
