Catherine McNamara
grew up in Sydney, ran
away to Paris, and ended up in West Africa running a bar. Her
collection Pelt and Other Stories was longlisted for the Frank
O’Connor Award and was semifinalist in the Hudson Prize, and her
short stories have been Pushcart nominated, shortlisted and published
in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia. Catherine lives in Italy.
I grew up in the Balkans
(early lessons in the ways of life), and lived in Canada for thirty
years (continuation of early lessons) with my husband who is an art
historian, a piano teacher, and a HIP music enthusiast. Lately we
spend a good part of the year close to the Adriatic Sea, in southern
Herzegovina (the sea holds no memories but for the rocky cliffs, the
morning mist and clear waters of turquoise blue). I was born on the
small and wondrous island of Korcula in Croatia, and later moved to
Belgrade, Serbia. Both countries denied me citizenship after the
break-up of Yugoslavia.
My background is in
philosophy and IT. I had studied philosophy and history at the
Belgrade University before moving to Canada, where I obtained a
diploma in computer programming/systems analysis, with specialization
in mid-range computers.
I am a systems analyst by
day (for almost twenty-five years), historical fiction writer by
night(for several years). When a friend asked why I write historical
fiction, I said: “Wouldn’t you, if you had to spend eight hours a
day in a cubicle?” The literary world does not resound with my
name.To date, I have completed nine such short stories, a play, and
this novel. I am currently working on my second historical fiction
novel, loosely based on the life of Sir Francis Drake and the fate of
Raphael’s cartoons. Occam’s Razor, a story of Bernini, was also
shortlisted at the 2017 CHAUCER BOOK AWARDS Historical Fiction
pre-1750s.

I agree that a second pair of eyes is absolutely essential to avoid rejections. Through WordsRU.com I was able to get top class editing and proofreading, manuscript critique. They also write excellent author profiles and book synopsis, so pretty much the entire package.

It is incredible to see such a large number of associations giving awards for ecological causes. It ranges from preservation ventures, sparing valuable assets and perceiving individuals that have had any kind of effect with creative ecological undertakings. modern trophy design

This matrimony type, does not witness the exchange of money or kanyadan by the parents of the bride. Unlike the matrimonial practices in Brahma marriage, here the father of the bride goes out to look for a suitable match for his daughter.
