The Last Thing I Remember - The Homelander Series #1

Andrew Klavan

Blurb: #01

All Charlie West usually has to worry about is getting good grades and not making a fool of himself in front of the prettiest girl in class. He's never been in trouble.

Until now.

Dazed and confused, Charlie wakes up strapped to a chair in a windowless cell. The last thing he remembers is falling asleep in his bedroom. Now he's aching all over, covered in blood, and, worse, someone behind the door has just ordered his death.

Charlie knows this is no nightmare: it is terrifyingly real. What he doesn't know is how he got here and, more importantly, how he's going to get out...

Keeping The Faith: Collingwood...the pleasure, the pain, the whole damned thing (Steven Strevens)

Keeping The Faith: Collingwood...the pleasure, the pain, the whole damned thing

Steve Strevens

Blurb: In a world of constant change, one of the few things that never alters is the passion of the footy fan for their club.

In Keeping the Faith, Steve Strevens charts the 2004 season, a winter of black and white agony and ecstasy, through his own story and those of the many ordinary supporters we never hear about, the backbone of any footy club. From the bleak, afternoons sitting in the outer to the president's lunch, from the memories of ANZAC Day games long gone to a train journey to Sydney with the cheer squad, Steve Strevens paints an affectionate and humorous portrait of those who follow 'the Pies'.

Despite the disaster that was the 2004 season, Collingwood survived - and support flourished. For those who follow the Magpies, it was simply a matter of faith. You love your club, to the exclusion of all others. You support it, even when times are tough. In many ways, winning and losing are not as important as belonging.

Keeping the Faith is a glorious celebration of Australian Rules football - and the fans who make the game great.
