A Hands-On Guide to Building Fandom Stories Readers Love

Write Your Own Fan Fiction

She shot her husband on a crowded Melbourne street.

Witnesses heard her shout, "I did it!"

Then she pleaded not guilty.

The case ignites the city. Newspapers circle. Society whispers. And inside the courtroom, two of Melbourne's fiercest legal minds go to war: a principled prosecutor chasing justice, and a flamboyant defence showman who plays to the gallery.

At the centre stands Kathleen Fraser: volatile, defiant, and impossible to ignore. Is she a cold-blooded killer? A woman dismissed as "hysterical" by her time? Or someone pushed beyond endurance in a world designed to silence her?

The Dangerous Wife resurrects a true crime murder trial that once gripped Australia. Now reconstructed in full from the original evidence. Court transcripts, depositions, private letters, shorthand notes, and hundreds of newspaper reports bring the testimony, contradictions, and turning points to life with the pace of a legal thriller.

What you'll get as a reader:

-A public shooting, a shocking confession, and a not-guilty plea that changes everything.
-A courtroom battle where strategy, reputation, and performance can decide a verdict.
-Evidence you can weigh for yourself, drawn from primary sources and contemporary reporting.

A vivid look at how class, gender, and public opinion shaped justice in Australia. Gripping, unsettling, and meticulously sourced, this is true crime for readers who want the law in action and a legal showdown where the stakes are life and death.

"A gripping true crime story told with the insight of a forensic legal mind." -Roy Maloy, true crime history

M. J. Checketts is the author of The Dangerous Wife: A True Legal Thriller, a meticulously researched and compelling narrative that resurrects one of Australia's most sensational courtroom battles. Drawing on his deep legal experience as a former senior partner of a major Australian law firm, he brings unmatched insight into the human drama and procedural intricacies of real-world justice.

Trained in England and based in Melbourne, Checketts spent his legal career advising on complex matters and now serves on several professional services boards. His writing blends crisp narrative pacing with the analytical precision of a seasoned lawyer, capturing both the emotional stakes and forensic detail that define high-profile trials. The Dangerous Wife is his first work of narrative non-fiction and reflects his commitment to telling true legal stories that engage, inform, and challenge readers.

Seit Jahrtausenden leben Vampire verborgen unter den Menschen. Sie haben einen Pakt geschlossen, den die acht großen Vampirfamilien mit ihrem Blut unterschrieben und der alle einhundert Jahre erneuert wird. Ludwig soll im Auftrag seines Schöpfers an der Zeremonie teilnehmen. Dafür zieht er in eine unscheinbare Wohnung in einer Kleinstadt in England.

Das moderne Recht wirft viele grundsätzliche Fragen auf: Ist Recht mit Gerechtigkeit notwendig verbunden? Was ist überhaupt Recht und was Gerechtigkeit? Wie verhalten sich Recht und Moral zueinander? Warum und unter welchen Bedingungen ist Recht verbindlich?

Dabei schlägt er einen Bogen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart und entwickelt vor diesem historischen Hintergrund Antworten auf zentrale systematische Fragen der Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtstheorie.

The Shadow Friends

Passionately Transforming Management

"What an interesting agenda for this meeting." "Sustainability is a priority for our company." "We care deeply about our customers." Let's face it: We all lie. Sometimes to save face, to get out of a scrape or to protect someone's feelings, and sometimes for more malicious reasons. Generally, however, we only expect people to lie under certain circumstances, and we expect our professional environments to be beacons of truthful and honest behaviour. Deceit, untruth and disinformation have become part and parcel of the everyday political agenda. World leaders and business magnates unabashedly lie and peddle misinformation, from climate change denialism to anti-vaccine propaganda. In Passionately Transforming Management: Lies, Professor Johan Alvehus recognizes that such things are not only going on at the grand political stage - instead arguing that the utility of lies, deception and manipulation can provide key lessons for anyone interested in leadership. The author delves into differing philosophical perspectives on the morality of lying, before examining the various ways in which falsehoods find their way into our modern workplaces. Ultimately, we must begin re-assessing our professional hierarchies with a new clarity by rejecting the notion of a leader as a morally superior concept automatically deserving of adulation. We need to recognize that lies and manipulation are fundamental elements of accomplishing things in organizations. Even before working life starts, its truthfulness is dubious - who doesn't polish their CV to give a better impression? Bypassing formal structures, ensuring certain people are left out of decision processes, spreading non-factual 'visions' and lying to keep one's position safe are all essential for the accomplished manager. Passionately Transforming Management: Lies provides students, scholars and managers with a concise and provocative guide to identifying, utilising and manipulating bullshit culture.

Passionately Transforming Management: Lies

Ein Mord. Eine Erinnerung. Ein Sommer zwischen Geistern, Göttern und dunklen Wahrheiten: Als Jingnan in der Mittagshitze Taipeis vor seinem Nudelstand sitzt, erreicht ihn eine Nachricht, die sein Leben aus der Bahn wirft: Julia, die Frau, die er einst heiraten wollte, ist tot. Sie wurde erschossen, während sie sich - wie viele ungelernte Frauen aus schlechten Verhältnissen - als ,Betelnuss-Mädchen' verdingte. Doch warum war ausgerechnet sie, die einstige Musterschülerin und Hoffnungsträgerin, in diese zwielichtige Welt abgerutscht?

Während ganz Taiwan den Geistermonat begeht - eine Zeit, in der die Toten in die Welt der Lebenden zurückkehren und die Gehwege mit Opfergaben vollgestellt sind, - begibt sich Jingnan auf die Suche nach Antworten. Und je tiefer er in die Vergangenheit eintaucht, desto unklarer wird, was Wahrheit und was Aberglaube ist.
,Geistermonat' ist ein spannender Kriminalroman und zugleich ein literarischer Trip durch das urbane Taiwan, das sich zwischen Moderne und Mythos bewegt. Sarkastisch, melancholisch, voller Atmosphäre und mit einem Protagonisten, den man so schnell nicht vergisst.

Ein Taiwan-Thriller

Geistermonat

Sie nennen ihn den Polaroid-Killer. Wenn sie die Überreste seiner Opfer finden, stecken die Fotos in ihren Mündern. Ihren Augenhöhlen. Tief in ihren Eingeweiden. Ein Sadismus, der über den Tod hinausgeht.
Noch bevor die Mordserie beginnt, stoßen Student Luca und seine Mitbewohnerin Maja online auf verstörende Videos eines Tierquälers. Fest entschlossen, dem Uploader das Handwerk zu legen, schließen sie sich einer Gruppe von Internet-Hobbydetektiven an. Schon bald sind sie sicher, dass die menschliche Bestie zu größerer Beute übergegangen ist und mittlerweile als Polaroid-Killer auf Menschenjagd geht. Aber als sie zu tief graben, fallen sie in ein blutgetränktes Rabbithole. Was sie am tiefsten Punkt entdecken, übersteigt jegliche Vorstellungskraft.

Why do organizations keep causing harm? And how do we cure toxic cultures? "A timely, rigorous, and deeply unsettling book."—Amy C. Edmondson, Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management, Harvard Business School, and author of The Fearless Organization Not a week goes by with out yet another major organizational scandal: Open AI’s agents going rogue, Volkswagen’s emissions cheating, Boeing’s persistent safety issues, endemic police misconduct at the Oakland PD, and sexual abuse at yet another Roman Catholic Church. So why do do organizations keep causing these harms? Benjamin van Rooij and Nicholas Lord argue that to truly understand and address the impacts of dysfunctional organizations we must look beyond leadership and understand the deeper problems in the organization itself. To do so, Toxic uses dozens of in-depth case studies to connect the dots between various scandals and illustrate the deeper toxic patterns within organizations that lead to them. Each chapter recounts compelling stories of individuals caught within these toxic systems and addresses urgent societal challenges such as environmental degradation, the opioid epidemic, the harms of social media, and police abuse. Stories include:<ul><li>Facebook sought to grow from 1 billion to 5 billion users, leading it to enter Myanmar’s volatile ethnic context without having the knowledge or capacity to do proper content moderation, and thus contributing to genocide.</li><li>Don Parus, a BP engineer made an all-out effort to warn company leaders to invest in safety, just months before a major explosion killed fiteen and injured hundreds at its Texas City Refinery.</li><li>Keith Batt, a rookie at the Oakland Police Department, was made to witness, condone and participate in falsifying arrest records, planting evidence, and even in unsanctioned violence, all within two weeks on the job.</li></ul>Revealing, accessible, engaging, and unsettling, Toxic breaks down the core characteristics of toxic organizations and shows readers how to recognize and address toxicity in their everyday lives.
