Now in the world

There is something extraordinary about the moment a story stops being something you carry and becomes something another person can hold. These are some of the books that have made that journey.

I didn't want to be a saint

A memoir of abandonment, resilience and healing
Catherine Van Nesch

Set against the backdrop of 1950s and 1960s Australia, this memoir reveals the hidden struggles of a childhood shaped by strict faith, silence and control, in an era when the Catholic Church could do no wrong. Carrying the lifelong weight of those beliefs, Catherine begins a courageous journey to confront the past, break free from fear, and discover her own truth. A moving story of resilience, healing, and the quiet power of reclaiming one's life.

“The quality of the writing, editing and proofreading was impeccable, catching every tiny error while preserving my unique voice.

While at times the journey to the end product was overwhelming, Cass allowed me to air my fears, always transparent with her suggestions and with gentle guidance and dedication bringing this book to life.”

— Catherine Van Nesch

For King and Country

The family's military service
Greg Fraser

The true story of ten members of one family who served, or sought to serve, across almost two hundred years of conflict, from the Napoleonic Wars to Vietnam. Drawn from more than twenty years of family research, it chronicles their courage, sacrifice and survival, on the battlefield and in the long years afterwards.

“All of this is due to the work Cass undertook in bringing my dream to reality. She is a delight to work with, and nothing is a problem for Cass.”
