edit data

Margaret Walker is a teacher. She has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Sydney and a Diploma in Education.

Between 1999 and 2001, she had six short stories published in Australia and the UK, and plunged head first into novel writing. His Most Italian City is her fifth novel but the first to be published, as she had a troubling tendency with the first four to give up after three rejections and start another one.
Her epiphany came in 2016 when she graduated with a Diploma in Professional Communication and actually learned a few things about editing and publishing. An understanding of the industry dispelled much of its mystique, and becoming a published author no longer seemed like the impossible dream.

Nobody does Ancient Rome like Robert Harris. His Cicero trilogy was superb. Likewise Pompeii which is one of my go-to anti-stress novels. I have lost count of the number of times I have read it. I get so caught up in the menace of Mount Vesuvius as i ...more

Extraordinary. I'm torn between describing this remarkable voyage as an affirmation of faith, a headstrong attempt by two young men to prove that they could do something, or the ability of a keel-less dory to survive the wild Atlantic. Undoubtedly, i ...more

Evil doesn’t discriminate. When choosing its victim, it doesn’t say, I’ll have pity on him because he’s got low intelligence and wets the bed. Let’s move on to someone cleverer. The devil has no pity. For some reason, I felt sorry for the perpetrator’s ...more

Writing a novel takes courage because it makes the author vulnerable, particularly if it’s the first novel of a journalist. As well, of course, Melanie Phillips is writing about Israel, Judaism and a Jewish identity. If she had been writing about any ...more

Yet another treatise by the very readable Mr Murray. To me, the War on the West is an attack on the West’s Judean Christian heritage, the God of the Jews and the Christians. It is a spiritual war, and this is why it only targets the West, not the Hin ...more
