Glide in Slowtime by Barry Rosenberg
It’s in Dreamtime … in steam time
Glide has the pen pusher blues until the day his black cloud of depression turns into a magic man who whisks him off to Auslan, a former paradise in need of a hero to fight the wicked witch and free the princess. But first Glide has to untangle the secret of Slowtime. A comedic fantasy with a uniquely Australian flavour and a steampunk twist, Glide in Slowtime will take you on a romp where science is magic and magic is science.
Learn more about the book, including places to buy, at the Glide in Slowtime information page.

Our new release, Illumé is now available for sale through our website, or through your favourite online bookstore, in print and ebook formats.
It’s a lushly written urban fantasy, stand-alone but set within a richly detailed version of Paris that has lots and lots of understated backstory to it (and you can read another taste of Kate’s intertwined worlds at Smashwords for free). For all its wit and darkness and elaborate language, what truly sold me on this book were the incisive, full-bodied portraits of the female characters: lots of them, all flawed and living their own lives that don’t revolve around the hero, as charming and modest as he is. This is a gem of a book and Winterbourne is proud to present it.
Illumé by Kate Smith
Where there is light, there are shadows
Thane da Silva works for the Subrosa Negri, a secretive department charged with keeping the peace between the mundane and the Pale, those beings with a little touch of the supernatural in their genetic makeup. As the full blue moon casts a glow over Paris, Thane’s search for a pair of romantics performing a doomed ritual is just the beginning of an elaborate charade of mirrors and strange communiqués.
By turns macabre and whimsical, gothic and pop-cultural, Illumé will take you on a lavish journey into the shadows of the City of Light.
