Night Train to Varanasi - This is a travelogue, a history lesson and an educational insight — all rolled into one. Above all, Sean makes a profound statement: “… I feel Indian …” Then he declares: “Sometimes the reality of India is much better than the concept”.

Night Train to Varanasi - Interspersed with travel accounts is information about the influence that India has had on world figures, ranging from Walt Whitman to T S Eliot, Aldous Huxley and even Alfred Deakin. Doyle still has India in his blood, even though he has devised a list showing the differences, good and bad, between the modern nation and the India of his youth. Readers will be grateful that he has shared his deep knowledge and love of that country, not only with his daughter, but also with them

Night Train to VaranasiReviewed by Jennifer Somerville
highly recommend ‘Two Mums and a Dad’. Funny and tender, yet serious and insightful. A genuine snapshot of 1980s Sydney.

BORDERLINE - Borderline is raw, deeply emotional ... Borderline is also full of hope, understanding and stubborn determination not to let the stamp of mental illness destroy everything she had worked for and overcome.

Very few writers make me laugh out loud but Toby Roberts is one of them. 'Two Mums and a Dad' is a coming of age tale that bares all. While coming to terms with his beautiful mother's attractiveness to younger women and her sexual flowering, he also has to dodge the bullets of his father's festering anger and resentment. In some hands this subject matter could make for a dark read, but Roberts' same wry humour that helped him survive his painful adolescence makes this debut memoir a delight. I highly recommended this book for anyone who has ever been a teenager.

BORDERLINE - Sandie Jessamine's memoir is a story of courage. It is not an easy book to read, and it made me cry on more than one occasion, but it is worth reading. She has Complex-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is an example and reference for many women who have been underestimated and neglected over the years. I recommend everyone to get to know Sandie's story of strength.

Strong and real - This book is unbelievable, the story of this woman makes me think about many others that have to deal with horrible traumas without the minimum of support. We have to consume more and more memoirs like that to help each other.

Borderline Joy - Sydney
TWO MUMS AND A DAD - Two Mums and a Dad is a tender, thoughtful true tale which will make you think deeply about school, family and love, about acceptance and peer pressures, about sexuality and puberty. And as you contemplate such life issues affecting us all, you’ll be thoroughly entertained and experience the very best of mirth.

TWO MUMS AND A DAD - A fantastic, fun, insightful read.... it’s hilarious, relevant and endearing. Brought back my own memories, good and bad, of the college days. I’m going to read it again in hard copy, I read it in two sittings, couldn’t put it down.

Hello Bad Apple Press People, I just want to express my gratitude. I recently ordered a book and it arrived with a book bag. I think that is a thoughtful and lovely touch, and although I already have a book bag, yours is better. So thank you very much. With many good wishes,
Sigrid Jakob.
