The 4-book Nanima Series is Now Complete

The fourth and final book of the Nanima SeriesThe Flat, is now complete and available. It is deeply satisfying to finish not just The Flat, but the whole series, which has been a friend, confidant, and challenge for the past four years.

Spanning four deeply personal and spiritually rich booksโ€”Nanima, Geboor, Sonder, and The Flatโ€”the series follows Maliyan, an insightful and grounded seeker whose path unfolds across the quiet towns and wild landscapes of rural Australia.

The first book, Nanima, was inspired by the rural area my family comes from in NSW, Australia. When I began writing the second book, Geboor, I moved from the city to country Victoria. It and the following books were shaped by the two rural towns Iโ€™ve lived in since then.

Alongside Maliyan are Lunaโ€”intuitive, witty, and playfully avoidant as he learns to love trulyโ€”and Bell-Bell, whose brilliance and volatility reflect the challenges of change and the yearning for wholeness.

The Nanima Series offers not just a story, but a spiritual companion. It invites you to walk the path of growth, to listen deeply to the land and your own spirit, and to remember that evolution is both quiet and profound.

The Flat (Book 4 of Nanima Series): Paperboy (Chapters 1 to 2)

Here is the beginning of The Flat (Book 4 of the Nanima Series).

PAPERBOY

Chapter 1: Happy Dreams

โ€œHappy dreams,โ€ said Luna as he opened the bedroom door for Iggy to enter. 

โ€œSleep well,โ€ said Maliyan as she headed for the bathroom. 

โ€œI will,โ€ said Luna. โ€œThe night is so quiet at your house that I feel like Iโ€™m in a cocoon.โ€

He was used to the hustle and bustle, traffic and horns, yelling and late-night laughing of inner-city life.

At the end of his Christmas holiday break, Luna was ready to tell Maliyan that he never left for the northern city and was still in the southern one near her. When he initially decided to move back north, he gave notice on his flat. By the time he decided that he was no longer going, his flat had been leased to someone else, so he was homeless. Maliyan offered him her spare room, assuming he wouldnโ€™t take it. He did take it. The last time they lived together was summer, two years ago, in Nanima, in the shophouse of Luna Tiks.

Sonder (Book 3 of Nanima Series) has now been published! It is available as an e-book and paperback, and the audiobook will soon be published.

When you are closest to making a breakthrough in your personal growth, your fear throws up the greatest intensity. It will do whatever it can to deter you from moving ahead. That is the nature of human consciousness and growth. If you succumb to its frightening and treacherous threats, pick yourself up and try again. With perseverance, your fear will exit the scene, and you will be standing in a sparkling new world. The problems encountered by those closest to Maliyan intensify as their paths intertwine more densely and their individual journeys traverse sinuous inner terrain. The rhythm and beauty of the natural environment around them comforts and pushes them ever onwards.โ€”Sonder

Don’t think a spiritual series pussyfoots around life. On the contrary, it looks at life and people honestly. What would be the point of a spiritual path if it didn’t understand the nature of life? It knows the problems. It also has some answers, but those answers can only be seen by those who are aching to see them.

Nanima Series

If you haven’t started the Nanima Series yet, you may like to! Here are a few reviews:

  1. I gobbled up Nanima. It’s so comforting to have your presence through these books. I very much relate to the narrator, so curiously and wisely witnessing this world. 
  2. A spiritual experience. An unusual fiction. Goddard’s book is a great depiction without being stereotypical.
  3. Spiritual in the best way.
  4. A story with something special.
  5. Well written and thought-provoking. 

Available as single books, combined volumes, and audiobooks from most online outlets. Theย Nanima Seriesย is a unique story journalling the inner evolution of a spiritual seeker within the context of her relationships and life. It is set in the equally unique environment of rural Australia.

Sonder (Book 3 of Nanima Series): Everyone Has a Story

When the first month of winter is as cold as Black Forest, the long stretch ahead can seem rather daunting. The outside section of Sonder was empty, although inside was busy and buzzing as usual. The other cafes in town did alright, enough to get by, with the bonus of freedom. They would shut for all sorts of reasonsโ€”fire weather, winter break, baby born, spouse sick, no staff, mental health, changed our minds. Sonder, however, was different.
