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.

The Improvised Navy of the Yugoslav Partisans

Tito with sailors from the Partisan Navy
(used with permission)

Freivogel and Rastelli's Adriatic Naval War is a treasury of superb naval images drawn from private collections, alongside the best-informed text I have ever read on the topic. The sheer amount of small but important details suggests to me that much of the book was put together from local knowledge and oral history. The gatheri Read more of this blog post »

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

I'm going to pen a brief review halfway - and yes, I will finish the book. Writing as a Christian, it seems very apparent that the German Christians lost their way not only because of their alliance with Hitler but also because of their devotion to M ...more

I have to confess, I’ve read this book dozens of times. It is my favourite volcano book and my favourite bedtime book. I love it. A century after the disaster, in 2002, one of our newspapers ran a spine-chilling article about the Evil City of St Pier ...more
