A woman searches a suburban deadland for her missing mother. A rural family struggles on a land that fails to sustain them. A young man's attempt to leave the strictures of family life ends in violence. Jane Skelton writes cool prose about hot landscapes, about characters seeking relief from strong emotions, about characters whose lives are tied up, inextricably, with the Australian landscape.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Skelton \u003c\/b\u003ehas published short fiction in a range of literary journals and anthologies over the past 20 years, including in \u003ci\u003eAustralian Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHecate\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eIsland Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOverland\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTelling Ways: Australian Women's Experimental Writing\u003c\/i\u003e.
