25.01.2022 A great review of my Belleville series by Theresa Smith. She says: ' ..... for those who appreciate quality Australian fiction.'
25.01.2022 I couldn't help but think that writers are probably the one group of people most suited to social distancing ... but even we get to a point where we need to see another human being and interact with someone, at least with our loved ones. I feel really sorry for people who live alone during this time of social distancing. It must be quite difficult. [ 98 more words ] https://judithmarymasters.wordpress.com//social-distancin/
24.01.2022 The story of the Belleville family had been in my head for so long I feel as if they are old friends. Yet I could not have imagined how book 3 would turn out. Something amazing happened as I wrote it. My characters' lives really took over the writing. I cannot describe just how satisfying that was. As I wrote the story, it took so many surprising turns.

23.01.2022 FOR BRITISH READERS: YOUR HISTORY WITHIN MY BELLEVILLE BOOKS Watching the coverage of the commemoration of the D-Day Landings, I was reminded of the contribution young Australian men made to the air war and the defence of Britain in World War II.

23.01.2022 Thank you Mrs B for reading on and posting this great review for book 2 of the Belleville family saga, To Love, Honour & Betray http://jmarymasters.blog//book-review-to-love-honour-and-/
23.01.2022 I wanted to share this 4 star review of the first of my Belleville books, Julia's Story. The review was written by ElizaBeth Adams 30 May 2019, 21:31 4 out of 4 stars **** All I have to say is, Nooooooo! Not, No, don’t read this book, or, No, it isn’t any good. Nooooooo, because the book ended. It ended and so many plot lines are achingly unresolved. [ 699 more words ] https://judithmasters.wordpress.com//4-star-review-julias/
19.01.2022 This is what I meant to re-blog - the interview with Alli Sinclair, author of The Cinema at Starlight Creek https://judithmasters.wordpress.com//tea-with-mrs-b-alli-/
19.01.2022 And Mrs B, a dedicated reviewer, finished book 3 in my Belleville series, Return to Prior Park. All 4 stars. Thanks so much. http://jmarymasters.blog//book-review-return-to-prior-par/
17.01.2022 As I begin to write my 4th Belleville novel, I was reflecting on my pleasure in having my fictional characters inhabit a world that is not entirely fictional. I enjoy grounding my characters in real environments, (where practical, I hasten to add). I originally set out to write a trilogy.

16.01.2022 What do authors want to see? They want to see their books nestled on the shelf in a quality bookstore - in this case HARRY HARTOG BOOKSELLER in Maroochydore - alongside authors whose names they recognise - in my case, Melina Marchetta to the left and Frances Mayes to the right. Then comes Fiona McIntosh and back to the left, David Malouf. [ 41 more words ] http://jmarymasters.blog/2019//27/what-authors-want-to-see/

14.01.2022 I was in Brisbane earlier this week. Readers of my Belleville trilogy will know that Brisbane features in the story from time to time (but in its 1940s guise). As I walked along Brisbane's streets this week, I realised how much change had happened in the intervening years. 70+ years on, Brisbane is a modern city with some fine early buildings and a multi-cultural feel.

07.01.2022 I'm seriously delighted to share this great review from Mrs B's Book Reviews for book 1 of the Belleville family saga, Julia's Story http://jmarymasters.blog//book-review-julias-story-by-j-m/
03.01.2022 When I read the first few words of this review back at the end of May, I must admit I was a bit taken aback .... "All I have to say is, Nooooooo! Not, No, don’t read this book, or, No, it isn’t any good. Nooooooo, ...... AND THEN I COULD BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF BECAUSE SHE SAID "......because the book ended."

02.01.2022 I've seen others write about their favourite binge watching during the Covid-19 lockdown - so here's mine: Downton Abbey. I just love it. Sumptuous setting and costumes; good acting (who can go past Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess - she has the best lines); and a storyline that keeps you engaged (most of the time). And here I must make a confession: the Downton Abbey storyline - where an heir appears from another branch of the family - well, I've used that in my own Belleville books for the English storyline of the [ 196 more words ] https://judithmarymasters.wordpress.com//downton-abbey-be/
