How To Create Comics & Manga

You can do one night, Jo reminds herself as she follows five women into the Australian bush. 
Where are they going to sleep? And pee? 
Jo probably should have let her husband Frank know. Just in case. Because you never know what can happen in the wild. 
*** 
While on her three-month marriage-and-motherhood sabbatical in the country, Jo bumps into an old friend Fiona who invites her on a 'sacred silent walk to mark her 57th birthday - the first since her husband Ben died. 
The last thing Jo wants is to share anything about herself - these are Fiona's friends, not hers. And what's she going to say? That her young adult children have made life choices she doesn't understand? That she has no idea who she is anymore? That everything is falling apart - even her 'happy marriage' to Frank? 
But the unexpected intrusion of a young backpacker into their secret location, unleashes powerful and conflicting emotions in each woman, provoking conversations and confidences that stray into the shadowlands of motherhood, the mysteries of midlife, the future of monogamy and mother Earth. 
Under the canopy of the open night sky, around a small, tended fire, the women share wise counsel, spill their secrets and offer up their stories, each exposing corners of truth the others need to hear. 
Unbecoming is a funny, heartbreaking and provocative homage to the midlife unravelling as women on the brink of elderhood speak honestly about their lives and wonder what the hell to do with vaginas that are not ready to be put out to pasture just yet.

The Turning is a collection of fifty poems from internationally bestelling author Joanne Fedler's life to celebrate her 50th birthday. Many of them catch small moments of transformation, as an ending slipped into a new beginning, a choice ruptured the past or a realisation burst an illusion. Some touch on transitions, gateways, moments of leave-taking, sometimes from a self the author was abandoning. The author examines motherhood, solitude, writing and death all of which take her into the deep questions she has about what it means to be a person.

Love In the Time of Contempt: consolations for parents of teenagers

South Africa's political cartoonist Dov Fedler had the opportunity in the 1980's to make a lifelong dream come true: directing a movie. Not that he had a clue how to - but he wasn't about to let that stop him. 
A laugh-out-loud story of pitfalls follows, one with a very serious language barrier and suspicions of criminal activity including one with a Mexican stand-off. Dov also has no idea the apartheid government is subsidizing the film he is directing. 
This memoir dives into pop culture past and present, and tales of real people who manage to be larger than life. It also gives a funny, moving portrait of Dov and his family vying to dictate what he can do with his life as a good Jewish son.

Without my Children is a memoir about motherhood - without easy answers or happy endings. While recovering from severe post-partum depression, the breakdown of her first marriage and the toxic co-parenting relationship that ensued, Sonia tries desperately to remain a continual and healthy presence in her children's lives despite financial constraints and physical distance. Over time, she is faced with the fact that as the loving bond with her daughter grows, so does the emotional distance with her son. As she struggles to stay connected to her children while continuing to battle depression, she navigates the dark and frightening prospect of having failed as a mother. Without My Children is a painful, honest, heartfelt journey into the shadowlands of motherhood in which Sonia begins to make peace with letting go of what she cannot control and accept her children's choices in the wake of her own difficult ones.
