Midland, WA - July 22, 2026 - Paraphernalia, a short-fiction collection by Perth-based author Godfrey Bonavia, is now available. The book gathers compact, self-contained stories aimed at readers who prefer short forms or want complete reads that fit between daily commitments.

“Short stories respect a reader’s time,” Bonavia said. “Each piece offers a full narrative you can finish in one sitting, then revisit for new details. Paraphernalia was written to be reread, not rushed.”

The collection balances tension and empathy in clear, accessible prose, foregrounding decisive moments, ordinary objects, and a strong sense of place. Designed for individual readers and book clubs alike, the release is supported by brief craft notes on the author’s blog and a discussion kit to prompt conversation without spoilers.

Paraphernalia is available in eBook and paperback on Amazon and other leading platforms. Retailer links and additional information will be posted on the author’s channels as they become available. Media and booksellers may request review copies, interviews, and excerpts through the contact below.
