Books by Janis Balodis

Every week somewhere in Australia news headlines proclaim yet another tragedy of young lives lost in a car wreck. Communities are shocked, politicians duck for cover and families are torn apart . . . the same story again and again. Set a month after the crash, Engine is the story of 'Grumpop' who lost a grandson and Natasha who lost a brother. "Engine" is a highly charged theatrical event about family, friends and cars and of fixing what's broken and celebrating life. (1 act, 9 male, 2 female).
