"So many snatches come back to him, little moments which are big moments in hindsight. At eight, a TV program - Hiroshima blast: men, women, children, their shadows caught and appliqued to walls. At twenty-five, the collapsing accordion of detonated buildings. And at thirty-two, sitting at a barbecue, Kerrie kneels beside him." Rex has always fostered a bleak view of humans. He suspects the world would be better off without our species. So when a virus, designed to make pests develop an insatiable appetite for their own kind, affects humans instead, it is as though Rex's wish has come horribly true. With his dog, Soldier, he wanders a devastated landscape armed with a gun and only one bullet. Days-long car chases ... shoot-outs ... cannibalism ... unyielding desert sun. His situation deteriorating, he seeks solace in recalling life before, with his girlfriend. But as these flashbacks become increasingly real, and fuse with the murderous present, are they more than memories? Should he turn the gun on himself or has he, his relationship, and humanity got one more shot? Suspenseful, shocking, and often brutal, One Shot is both a lyrical evocation of the unique Australian landscape and psyche, and a thoughtful contemplation of love, guilt, and ultimate responsibility.

'There is nothing so shocking, so beastly, or hateful to the imagination than to encounter another's happiness, particularly when it is a happiness that you yourself cannot partake in.' Spanning some 3,000 years and narrated by multiple voices, Forever Human follows a triangle of characters whose worlds are inextricably linked: Cassius, who remembers his past lives; Henri, who forgets; and Memphis, who may just have a greater awareness of the overarching plan of history than either of them. As Cassius toils on a formula for saving humanity from itself, the sinister Memphis shadows him and Henri through the ages on a significantly darker quest of his own. From modern-day Melbourne to first-century Pompeii, 15th-century Brittany, Edwardian London and beyond, this compelling tale of an artist, a mathematician and an enigma takes the reader on a delicious journey straddling science fiction and literary mainstream, with a touch of Greek tragedy thrown in for good measure. Conyers' ambitious novel experiments with the literary equivalent of musical sampling and creative collage as he adapts, quotes and affectionately impersonates an eclectic mix of authors ranging from Fyodor Dostoyevsky to Emily Bronte, Franz Kafka to H. G. Wells and many more. Alongside his masterful use of language and plot, the author paints a menagerie of incredibly solid, believable characters, whose personalities will linger in the memory long after the final page is turned. Forever Human is part literary mash-up, part meditation on religion and history, part adventure, part puzzle, and last but by no means least: a touching love story. Forever bloodthirsty ... Forever lovelorn ... Forever human."

Sam wants life to be the way it is in books - one meaningful moment after another - so exchanging the country for the city on the eve of a new millennium presents a wonderful world of possibility. Sex, drugs, sport, a new circle to move in, plus a chance to make money doing something he loves: his fresh start offers it all. But reality soon becomes more potboiler than literary masterpiece, and Sam finds himself re-examining the books that have inspired him. Perhaps there he can find what he needs to be 'good at life' before his own spirals completely out of control. 'A poignant and evocative story, recalling the adventurous ghosts of youthful exuberance.' Christopher Ciccione, author, Life with My Sister Madonna. 'Told with poeticism, hilarity and many heartbreaking and poignant moments, a genuine, gritty and gripping coming-of-age novel.' Angela Meyer, reviewer, Literary Minded. '(I)t's impossible to be unmoved by Conyers' perfectly flawed, all too real characters, as they document universally awkward, agonising and occasionally exquisite, tentative first steps into adulthood. You'll remember Morse Code for Cats.' Mark White, choreographer, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. 'A charming, touching and buoyant story, well written and astutely observed - Morse Code for Cats is an enviable debut.' Richard Watts, reviewer/TripleR presenter. 'Conyers has, in Sam, created a sweet and instantly likeable character ... Equal parts funny and affecting, Morse Code for Cats is an enjoyably tumultuous journey.' Nick Bond, co-editor/journalist, Southern Star.
