Crossfire | | | When the Deputy Principal opens Luke Aldridge's school locker, he finds a .22 calibre rifle. Thirteen-year-old Luke is in big trouble at school, and at home. When he joins his dad on a forbidden hunting trip he thinks all his dreams have come true, but have they? The guns, the killing, even his father aren't quite as Luke imagined.
Back home, Luke finds an unexpected understanding with his mother. Then his parents' verbal warfare explodes into confrontation, and a shot is fired ...

I thank Madonna Duffy, Rob Cullinan, Taressa Brennan and Belinda Jennings at University of Queensland Press. I am delighted they pursued me after my return from Boston assuring me that the revamped UQP was still interested in my public musings.
