Jessica Howard on ABC's Weekend Breakfast
Jessica Howard was interviewed on ABC's Weekend Breakfast about her new book, Bush Wisdom. This stunning book is the perfect escape when life gets too crowded and you need to feel the ground beneath your feet. It’s a celebration of farming, agriculture and a quiet life in the face of the fast-paced world many of us front up against every day. Out now!
If there were an award for best unboxing video, Shaun Micallef would undoubtedly take the prize.

Zach Tuohy announces The Irish Experiment
Get ready for this year’s most entertaining footy memoir, from Irish AFL games record holder Zach Tuohy!
Zach Tuohy's dream was to play Gaelic football and win an All-Ireland with his county, but when, as a nineteen-year-old, he was tempted with a professional contract to play footy on the other side of the world, he grabbed the oval ball opportunity with both hands. After reaching the pinnacle of his new sport, as one of the most accomplished Irish players in the history of the AFL, Zach reflects on life as the epitome of The Irish Experiment in this funny, frank and no-holds-barred memoir co-written with beloved ABC sport journalist Catherine Murphy.
The Irish Experiment is a must-read for Cats supporters, footy fans, and anyone who loves an inspiring story of overcoming adversity to achieve greatness!
Coming 4 November. Pre-order now at your local bookstore or online.
