On October 24th 2023, Wayne Holdsworth's life changed forever. LIke he had done many times before, Wayne had gone to his son Mac's room to wake him up for work. But on this occasion, Wayne discovered Mac had ended his life.

Authorised 2026 Episode 21 Nick Croydon & Jock Serong
It is a great time for readers with a never ending supply of great books coming for summer. In this episode the spotlight falls on two excellent new releases. Nautilus (Simon & Schuster) by Nick Croydon and A Suitable Man (Harper Collins) by Jock Serong.
Nick follows up his debut novel' The Turning Protocol' with another page turner, carrying on from the last big adventure. As well as being an emerging writer, Nick is CEO of QBD Books. We delve into his thoughts on all aspects of the industry.
Jock Serong is best known as a popular novellist but turns his hand to a memoir of Fletcher Jones, the man behind the very successful clothing empire. Fletcher is a most fascinating figure in the Australian business world and has a most remarkable story that Jock has brilliantly brought to print.
