M. von Lindenberg

Writer, producer, musician, cinematographer, director, painter...

There are a lot of things I have called myself over the years. Many of them still hold true, even though some of those boxes are sitting on shelves waiting to be cracked open again.

I began playing music around age 9 and always enjoyed writing when prompted with an idea. Even as a kid, short stories were something I could whip up and dump onto a page. I'd never thought myself a writer in any official capacity, not any more than I'd thought myself a "professional" musician. Alas, some 25 years after recording my first tracks, I have quite a few works in my discography.

In 2024, I endeavored to write a short story that turned into the multi-part series "No One's Time" after a conv

2500 km, hiking the Camino De Santiago on 5 different occasions, I wrote a book about my experiences. I called the book Hiking the Spanish, Portuguese and French Caminos - A Soulful Journey.

Alan R.M. Thrush

One-time soldier, father to a London architect and a Johannesburg businesswoman, marketing consultant and educator – Alan’s wide experience of life and human nature comes through clearly in his writing. In particular, his years as an officer (decorated) with the soldiers of a black paratroop battalion in the Zimbabwe-Rhodesian conflict placed him in a unique position to pen 'Of Land and Spirits', widely recognised as the defining novel of the Southern African Bush War.

Keen observation of the after-effects of battle on former combatants led to a follow-up novel, 'A Cross for Two Graves', set in present-day Europe and Africa.

His third novel, 'A Salient in Flanders', takes readers to a different era and the trenches of WW1. It has been acclaim

Ross Leondiou

Hi, I'm [Ross Leondiou] — a storyteller with one foot in the past and the other firmly planted in a fish shop. I write about the grit, humour, and heart of growing up in Australia, where steel factories and deep fryers were as much a part of life as family and friendship.

My books:
Wog in a Fish Shop – a true-to-life, nostalgic, and often funny look at my childhood in a family-run fish and chip shop during the 1960s. Framed around some of the era’s biggest world events — from the Cuban Missile Crisis and the moon landing to the demise of the Ford motor car and the wild chaos of cracker night — it's a story for anyone who's balanced two cultures while history unfolded around them.
