Tropical Writer's Books

 

 

 

He looked at her lying there, bloody and limp.
“Cut the cord,” she moaned. “Cut the goddam cord!”

In 2011 Category 5 tropical cyclone ‘Yasi’ ripped across far North Queensland, destroying homes and leaving thousands without power and water, cut off by washed out roads and deadly fallen powerlines. These are the tales born—not of the cyclone—but of the fevered imaginations of writers; isolated, unwashed and suffering in the tropical heat without our beloved air-conditioning.

Here in the tropics insidious monsters heave themselves onto muddy banks, housewives grapple with man-sized pythons and unprepared tourists face death on dusty, lifeless outback roads.

Buckle down for 18 stories and 13 poems from the wet, wild and rugged Far North Queensland’s best poets and writers.

The fifth Tropical Writers of Far North Queensland Anthology:
“Category 5”

Category 5 is available in traditional media from the 19th of November and as an e-book for the kindle on Amazon in the New Year!

 

"Tropical Writers wish to thank Cairns Regional Council for their Arts and Cultural Grant support in the production of their fifth anthology - Category 5."

 

 

Tropical Writers have produced four anthologies to date and the group is presently working on the fifth. The group self-publishes using local printing and graphics expertise. Our support of local businesses and regional writers results in a highly original and uniquely Far North Queensland product – reflecting the people and landscape of the tropics.
