NOMINATED FOR THE 2017 NSW PREMIER’S HISTORY AWARDS AND THE 2018 ADELAIDE FESTIVAL AWARDS FOR LITERATURE.
Sometimes, it's impossible to get home.
Especially if home is not where you think it is.
Indigenous urbanite Billy knows very little about his ancestry and is quite content to let it stay that way. However, one late night out changes all of that.
Stranded on a central Australian highway, with only the stars and mosquitoes for company, Billy finds his future determined by a pair of unlikely saviors and a mysterious supernatural entity.
In an effort to get himself home and confounded by circumstances beyond his control, Billy embarks on a surreal odyssey. There is only one problem…home is not where he expects it to be.
“Part quest, part ghost story, and part contemporary fable, Loreless combines magic, mysticism, wisdom, and wonder into an inspiring tale of self-discovery.” –reviewer V. van Roon
“This strong and compelling narrative pulls the reader along with a man who has absolutely no idea where he's going, and it's a journey that's well worth taking.” – author, Tom Lichtenberg
