Produktbeschreibung

"All the world's a stage,

And all the men and women merely players..."

As You Like It - William Shakespeare

In 1920s Australia, the silent movie industry is thriving.

Amelia Malone, obsessed with acting and the "flicks" from a young age, has her life forever changed when she is discovered at her local theatre and thrust into the exciting world of moving pictures.

Sam Collins, despite being the son of two famous vaudevillians, has never given acting a second thought. But fate, in the form of Henry Johnson, movie producer, has other plans.

Together, Amelia and Sam light up the silver screen, and Australians can't get enough of them. Their lives, onscreen and off, appear to be perfect.

Behind the scenes, however, things are not so black and white. And Amelia and Sam soon discover that life, just like the movies, is filled with both tragedy and comedy.

Autorenporträt

Katharine R. Pepper has always loved reading books, but secretly she's always been a frustrated novelist. Her first efforts, around the age of 19, were corny, romantic stories banged out on a manual typewriter (with heroes who looked very much like Tom Selleck in his Magnum PI days (#showingherage)). Let's just say they were good typing practice!

Katharine has lived in Melbourne, Grafton, Alice Springs and Adelaide, been married twice and divorced once, has two (now adult) children with Husband No. 1 and a stepson with (current) Husband No. 2. She finally rediscovered writing when she moved to the Gold Coast with her children in 2000 (after separating from Husband No. 1) and joined the Gold Coast Writers' Association. Soon after this, she became part of The Ten Penners, a subgroup of the GCWA. The group has released three anthologies for children: Fan-tas-tic-al Tales in 2009, Mystery, Mayhem & Magic in 2017 and Backyard Beasts & Curious Capers in 2023.

She has published two novels: Shadow of a Soldier in 2013 (previously released under the name "Kate Russell", but now updated with a new cover for 2021) and The Players, also in 2021. Katharine has six other novels in progress: two with a crime scene cleaner as the protagonist, three featuring a teenage witch (YA), and one standalone historical fantasy (YA).

Katharine has been a member of the Queensland Writers Centre and Sisters in Crime for many years. She also has a blog:

(which she doesn't update nearly enough).
