bit.ly/3C9GFoOPaul was educated at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales, Australia and became a writer in 2015 after his self-published novel 'Skulduggery' was picked up by Shawline Publishing. Paul's novels are authentic and gritty, with twists and turns the reader won't see coming. He paints a realistic image of how peasants would have lived in the 16th and 17th centuries. However, that is only the backdrop to suspenseful and mysterious stories with romantic tones. His novel 'Red Winter Journey' has been nominated for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards (Christina Stead Prize for fiction). His new novel 'Dream of Courage' will be released in November.
Paul has been a guest on the ABC, BBC, America Tonight with Kate Delaney and regularly features on the Witty Writers Show in the US. The US Times said, 'Modern writers usually don't know what it was like to live in the past, but Rushworth-Brown does this with great skill in his accomplished, atmospheric and thoughtful novels.'

Great read, a wonderful group of characters, The Pillars of the Earth has them all, mean, nasty, sly, loyal, loveable, brilliant and the not-so-bright.You become so involved in the characters' lives you don't want the book to end, and it is a big book. Ken Follett takes you back to an age of new discoveries, developing designs as the cathedral and the town around it begin to grow. The description of the building of the cathedral, was of particular interest.
The Poldark series is one of the finest collections of stories about an extended family, friends and enemies, tragedies, triumphs and courageous activities you could ever want to read. The stories are enthralling, covering several years in the lives of the inhabitants of a Cornish north coast district. The attention to detail of the life of the people of the time, particularly the actual historical events of the time, are well researched and are woven with great skill into the narrative. Over the years, I have read all the books several times and never tire of losing myself in the Cornwall and beyond of a bygone age.
Gabaldon writes in the first person for Claire and uses many historical references to actual events, which I found fascinating, being a fan of the genre. The writing is descriptive and compelling - often starting with the end scenario and then going back over the details that led to the event. It's passionate, original, and engaging. It leaves you wanting more, and even after reading the 800-odd pages, I had not had enough. I havn't seen the show but I might look into it now.
