Turning the tree into tales and books: my journey towards publishing

No ordinary convict - turning the tree into tales and books: my journey towards publishing

Janine talks about her book, “No ordinary convict. A Welshman called Rebecca”, which was published in 2021. She describes the journey to publication which began with a smaller writing project undertaken for her five grandchildren. This led to a bigger research project on her great-great grandfather, the leader of a protest movement in South Wales transported to Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) in 1844. Janine shares her engaging journey turning tales into books.
