| ROCKSPLOITATION - Celebrating 69 hits, flops and cult favourite rock n' roll movies | All That Was Taken From Us - A Child Migrant's Story | Imperfect Tales - 30 (mostly) dark short stories | Jada: Mountain Warrior |
| ROCKSPLOITATION is a deep dive into sixty-nine rock n’ roll movies over 604 info-packed pages from music and pop culture journalist, author, editor of 100% ROCK MAGAZINE and rock n’ roll movie obsessive Shane Pinnegar. Shane digs deep into these stories with affection, humour and insight, exploring plot, backstory and legacy, critiquing the merits (or otherwise) of each film, uncovering behind the scenes stories and trivia aplenty, as well as suggesting enough further reading to keep any fan sated for weeks. Publishing May 2025 | In 1950 Anthony George Pinnegar and his younger brothers boarded a ship at London's Tilbury Docks. Their mother waved them goodbye with barely a word and their new lives began a month later at Kingsley Fairbridge Farm School in Pinjarra, Western Australia. Tony was thirteen, his brothers Christopher nine and Garth barely eight. This is his story of their lives as Child Migrants in a harsh and sometimes cruel institution and beyond. It's also a snapshot of a different time; a story of family dysfunction; of lies, damage, abuse and trauma; and ultimately of triumph over adversity. A tale of a man always doing the best he could with the tools he had been given. Most of all, it's a story about love and one man's place in the world. When that is unfairly denied us, it takes perseverance and a little luck to find where we belong, and the love we needed from the start. Published 8 Jan 2023 | In Shane's first anthology of short stories, you will discover demons and dragons, zombies and ghosts, cults and murderers, bullies and the broken-hearted. There are supernatural stories, a little science fiction, some psychological thrillers, some blood-splattered murder most foul, some heartbreak and mental health issues. These short tales are (mostly) dark, Gothic, and creepy. A couple are true. Some you will hope could never be true. These are Imperfect Tales - a perfect reflection of our imperfect world. Published July 2022 | When Jada and her clan are attacked by harpies atop the mountain where they live, she must learn great courage to protect their unicorn herd and her family. The tweenage warrior-in-training will need to draw on her father’s wisdom and leadership and the new-found magical powers she doesn’t yet understand if she is to defeat their attackers. She is given strength in this adventure by the return of her ‘imaginary’ childhood friend Bando, and the special bond she shares with a unique unicorn named Baby. As Jada goes into battle she discovers that in sacrifice and selflessness there can be found great power. Jada: Mountain Warrior is a positive and uplifting teen/YA-and-beyond fantasy full of action and adventure and some special messages about finding oneself and finding courage, with a little help from those we care about.
