My father was in the Air Force, so after thirteen schools I left early longing to travel and have adventures. I worked as a jillaroo in the Australian outback, a girl groom, a shearer’s cook, a secretary, a hospital cleaner, and later, back in England, as a house model for Hardy Amies in London.

Laura Morelli
The first time I visited Venice as a wide-eyed teenager, I knew I was supposed to buy Murano glass, but I had no idea why.
Buy books on Amazon
All I knew was that I was whisked to the famous “glass island” on an overcrowded, stinky boat. I waited behind two dozen American and Japanese tourists to pay an exorbitant price for a little glass fish—what a bewildering experience!
Still, it was the artistic traditions of the world that inspired me to study the past. Living in Europe and Latin America, I realized that in many places, centuries-old craft traditions are still living traditions.
So began my quest to discover craftspeople passing on a special kind of knowledge to the next generation.

Alix Rickloff
Critically acclaimed author of historical fiction, Alix Rickloff’s family tree includes a knight who fought during the Wars of the Roses (his brass rubbing hangs in her dining room) and a soldier who sided with Charles I during the English Civil War (hence the family's hasty emigration to America). With inspiration like that, what else could she do but start writing her own stories? She lives in Maryland in a house that’s seen its own share of history so when she’s not writing, she can usually be found trying to keep it from falling down.

Across dual timelines, each novel unfolds with heart, courage, and emotional depth, creating an immersive journey into the past and a passion that lingers long after the final page.
If you've ever held a treasured object in your hand or stood in a place steeped in history, you'll understand the pull of the past. It's as if voices from long ago whisper through time, their secrets waiting to be uncovered.
As a writer of dual timeline novels, I’m fascinated by the interplay between past and present: how a forgotten item or an old building can open a doorway to another era, connecting lives across time.

My early memories are of Dad fossicking around in his study writing stories. I was 13 when he entered the New Zealand Sunday newspaper's shorty story competition. I noticed there was a 'high school' category and I mustn't have had anything to do that weekend so I decided to try my hand at crafting an entry. It was a descriptive piece about a young nurse visiting an elderly psychiatric patient with a twist at the end (heavily influenced by Roald Dahl).
