23.01.2022 From prison to premiership glory; this is Marlion Pickett’s extraordinary story. It’s the third quarter in the biggest game of the season. A young man lines up for goal. The 100,000 strong crowd leaps to its feet and roars as Marlion Pickett sends the ball soaring through the goalposts. It was the 2019 AFL Grand Final, and Richmond’s Marlion Pickett was making history as the first player in over 50 years to debut on that ‘one day in September’. ... Marlion helped the Tigers thrash the Greater Western Sydney Giants in their debut grand final appearance and was judged third best on ground, only six days after steering Richmond’s VFL team with his best on ground performance to their nail biting Grand Final victory. Marlion’s extraordinary story of redemption is a true fairy tale. The tale of a man who came back from the brink to triumph on Australian sport’s biggest stage, a long-held dream come true. Head into your local independent bookstore and pick up a copy of the book that Dr Sean Gorman compared to a Tarantino film due to the vividly unfolding drama on almost every page. #MarlionPickett #SimonAndSchuster #indies #AusIndieBooksellers

Her professional life comprises of rehearsals, concerts, auditions and relentless practice; her personal life is spent managing the demands of her strict family and creative friends, and hooking up. As Jena's life takes on echoes of #FrancesHa, her favourite film, crucial truths are gradually revealed to her. . #ALonelyGirlIsADangerousThing explo...res female desire and the consequences of wanting too much and never getting it. It is about the awkwardness and pain of being human in an increasingly dislocated world - and how, in spite of all this, we still try to become the person we want to be. This is a dazzling and original debut from @jessie_tuuu2, a young writer with a fierce, intelligent and audacious voice. .
