IFWG Publishing Australia is almost exclusively a publisher of children’s and speculative fiction. Every once in a while we come across something special and not quite in our normal publishing line, and something we can’t say no to. Such is the case with Craig Cormick’s The Years of the Wolf.
It is based on the true story of German civilians who were interned in an old prison on the coast near Kempsey in New South Wales, during WWI – and is told as an intriguing story of murder, cross-dressing, and the impacts of war on society. From a number of angles, we would classify this story as a psychological war horror story.
Craig Cormick is an award-winning Canberra author and science journalist. He has published over 25 books of fiction, non-fiction and children’s fiction, with both small and mainstream publishers, in Australia and overseas. Much of his work deals with reinterpretations of history. He is a former Chair of the ACT Writers Centre, and his writing awards include a Queensland Premier’s Award, ACT Book of the Year Award, the Tasmania Writers Prize and a Victorian Community History Award. He is a graduate of the Yale Writing Program, has taught writing at university and community levels, has been a writer in residence at the University of Science in Penang in Malaysia, and an Antarctic Arts Fellow travelling to Antarctica.
Welcome Craig! We look forward to publishing your work early in 2018.

Congratulations Craig! On top of all the accolades listed by IFWG, I have to add that Craig is also a gentleman in the true sense of the word. We were on the ACT Writers Centre Board together, and his kind and gentle character lent strength to many discussions.
