Most accounts of the life of Mary MacKillop (1842-1909), co-founder of the Australian religious Institute of the Sisters of St Joseph, are generated by Catholic historians, keen to promote the cause for her canonization. In such a master narrative, the question 'who was MacKillop?' is answered unequivocally. She is simply portrayed as a unified subject - Australia's first saint.  MacKillop believed that 'becoming a saint' was the desired outcome of living a religious life. But what she meant by 'saint' is historically specific and thus can be separated from the institutional process of becoming a saint decreed by the Church. This raises a problem for cultural historians: how to take archival evidence from a subject from the past and bring it to life with complexity and verisimilitude.  Diana Solano argues for a more hermeneutic approach to the subject. Her method generates a radical new reading of the life of MacKillop as a carrier of competing, multiple subjecthoods, and suggests that agency, textuality and intersubjectivity cannot be ignored when portraying cultural life in history.

They are not the only ones trying to survive. When the shelter is raided by a group of nomadic travellers, women are considered precious bounty. Jo's abduction is not the misfortune it first seems though, and she soon finds herself on the adventure she secretly wished for. Longlight is a story of anguish and hope, shaped on the extraordinary foundation of human determination.

The Lorelei Effect by Michael Alan British Arts Council YouWriteOn.com  2007 Book of the Year Award Winner      "I'm the guy techies call when they run out of ideas - a hacker's hacker.  The convoluted puzzles I squeeze into my mind make me feel not so much like a programmer as a computer therapist. I'm a modern day Columbus sailing the digital ocean, secretly worrying about falling off the edge and having to stare down the great turtle that holds everything together." Loner Cyrus Shepard gets a mysterious phone call in the middle of the night and next day finds himself in a government digital weapons lab.      "My mother was a nurse. She taught me work comes first. My father was a chemistry teacher. He taught me curiosity. Stubbornness and insecurity I thought up on my own." Neuropsychiatrist Rebecca Jenkins leads a research program with catatonic patients. Her work moves to a secret lab in a turn of the century asylum for the insane where she encounters The Lorelei Effect.      Cyrus and Rebecca reach inside each other to fight a discovery that threatens the very sanctity of the human spirit.
