Free Stuff Want to try before you buy? Have a read of the first three chapters of The Diplomat of Florence for free!! Sometimes a chapter just doesn’t make it to the final manuscript. But I am quite fond of this one, which depicts the death of Cesare Borgia… In this extract from my new book (working title Two Gents in Italy) I write about the extraordinary interlude that Napoleon Bonaparte spent while exiled on the island of Elba, just off the coast of Tuscany. A fascinating tale that begs to be made into a book… Verona is famous for two things: opera and its association with Shakespeare. In this chapter from Two Gents in Italy, I talk about how we experienced both on our visit there. Fleeing Covid lockdowns in Melbourne, Robert and I found ourselves ‘marooned’ on Magnetic Island in Far North Queensland. Read all about it here. What were William Shakespeare’s ‘Lost Years’? This little essay sets out what we know and don’t know about this mysterious period in the Bard’s life, the subject of my first novel, and a projected sequel.
