Mount Frogmore is fully powdered for winter, where roadies Toby McCullough and EJ Danaher are commencing their first shift together – it doesn’t kick off well.
Toby’s a quiet winter virgin working the mountain as a promise he’s more than happy to break whilst EJ’s a savage and seasoned snow bum looking for something more than what he’s already been dealt – both are certain they’ll hate each other.
Their first shift together includes Vikings, a car fire, and all the makings to ensure some mutual resentment… but a broken brake line leads them to something they didn’t expect in the beginning.
Something that might just get them both through the icy madness of the season… and to where they both need to be.
Maybe… just maybe… they might not hate each other.

My thoughts on White Season
“White Season” by Brian Sherlock is a hilarious and unapologetic novel about the Australian snow skiing scene.
The author skillfully captures the essence of the Australian snow skiing culture, complete with its unique slang and traditions. The book offers a humorous take on the ins and outs of skiing, including the various mishaps common on the slopes.
The author makes use of rough language and humor, which adds to the novel’s entertaining and irreverent tone. The characters’ dialogue is filled with colorful language and politically incorrect humor that may not be suitable for all readers. However, this adds to the story’s authenticity, capturing the gritty and often wild nature of Australian snow skiing. It also underscores the camaraderie and sense of humor among those who work and play on the mountain.
The humor in “White Season” is not limited to rough language, however. The novel is filled with comedic situations and misadventures that will have readers laughing out loud. From car fires to unexpected discoveries, the story is full of unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader engaged and entertained.
In addition to its entertaining storyline and relatable characters, “White Season” also explores the use of Auslan, the sign language used by the deaf community in Australia. As Toby encounters deaf skiers on the mountain, he is able to use Auslan he learned as a “Child of Deaf Adults,” to communicate with them. This adds an extra layer of depth to the story and highlights the importance of inclusivity in all aspects of life, including winter sports.
Through their interactions, Toby, EJ, and the crew gain a newfound respect for each other. This not only helps them in their work on the mountain but also enriches their personal lives and relationships.
Overall, the use of rough language, humor, and LGBTQ representation in “White Season” is a defining aspect of the novel that adds to its unique charm and appeal. It may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate irreverent humor, a good laugh, and a well-told story, this novel is sure to deliver.
I read this book through Kindle Unlimited. This is my honest, unbiased opinion.

About Brian Sherlock
I've lived in Melbourne, Australia, for going on thirty-one years now - I'm a loud and proud left-handed, beetroot-hating Sythaclaw who has a serious devotion to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
I was eight years old when I decided telling stories was for me. From that point onwards, I was the kid who always had some paper and pen in hand, getting words down. Many of those words probably won't see the light of day (I lost some of them).
When I completed secondary school, knowing full well I wanted to be a novelist, I enrolled in the Professional Writing and Editing Diploma at Box Hill TAFE's Whitehorse Campus (now demolished, shedding tears) - I completed the two-year diploma, learning some of what I know now, and graduated with the hope of becoming a writer.
It didn't happen... then.
For the next ten-ish years, I worked as a labourer, swim school teacher, and resort worker with a lot of domestic and international travel thrown in (backpacking is my second biggest love in life) and another diploma, this one in Travel and Tourism... but I was always getting words down. I was always working my hardest to get a decent novel written... and now I believe I've achieved that.
