Number 3 chiller
Your faithful Texters have been as busy as bees, putting together our catalogue of titles coming out in January to June 2018.
There’s a multitude of authors and books, all of whom and which we’re thrilled to be publishing.
How did it get to be November already? And how is it that there are still SO MANY books to read that we haven’t read yet? Well, that’s too bad because Text is adding another pile of books to our TBR list. Except these ones are goin’ straight to the top of the stack.
For your chance to win one of these immensely interesting editions, head over to our Facebook page after you have a look at our November books and tell us which one you’d like to win and why.
Text is thrilled to be publishing two beautiful books in November, designed by W. H. Chong, to celebrate Helen Garner’s writing life and her seventy-fifth birthday: True Stories and Stories.
We’re offering you, dear reader, the chance to win 1 of 10 author-signed sets.

If you haven’t read Kimberly Brubaker Bradley’s marvellous Newbery Honor Book, The War That Saved My Life, you need to, because her just as wonderful sequel, The War I Finally Won, is finally out now.
We sat down with the amazingly talented Ms Bradley and asked her a few questions about the writing process and about Ada (no spoilers, we promise!).
The Digital Writers’ Festival runs from Tuesday 24 October to Friday 3 November.
Where are the events? Everywhere!

She doesn’t know him. But he knows everything about her.
Get ready for another high-stakes, intense psychological thriller from Melanie Raabe, author of the international bestseller The Trap.
The Stranger is packed full of gripping twists and turns and everything else that you loved about Melanie Raabe’s first book.

Welcome to the second instalment in our series of Text relatives reviewing books (mainly so we don’t have to listen to them going on about our books at home).
Today’s post is brought to you by Mr Raymond Ballantyne, father of Lucy Ballantyne, one of Text’s tireless publicists.
He is reviewing Draw Your Weapons by Sarah Sentilles, a meditation on violence and war and how art can resist and combat both.
Take it away, Mr Ballantyne...
Robin Sloan has cooked up yet another delicious feast of literature. Sourdough tells the tantalising tale of Lois, a techie at a robotics company who codes all day, eats the company’s slurry for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and collapses into her bed at night.
What follows is an epic adventure involving a singing sourdough starter, underground farmers’ markets, Lois clubs (They do exist!), goats, and a robotic arm that can crack an egg.
Read on for a slice of Robin Sloan’s Sourdough, then make your very own sourdough starter with Robin Sloan’s recipe after the extract.
Two Steps Forward is the feelgood novel of the year from Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project and Anne Buist, author of Medea’s Curse.
We asked Anne Buist and Graeme Simsion for their top ten Camino food and wine favourites and they did not disappoint.
Read on to get the low-down on where to replenish your appetite and soul after a long day’s trek.
