| Introduction | "What is history but a fable agreed upon?", asked Napoleon. I have an abiding fascination with history in all its forms, including historical fiction. My name is Anne McFadgen and I currently live in Westport, on the West Coast of New Zealand. I formerly lived for many years at Ngatimoti, in the Motueka Valley., Tasman District, NZ. Under my nom de 'net, "Annis", I've written quite a few reviews for historical novels and the odd article under my own name. I used to live next to the Ngatimotil WWI war memorial and as the centenary of WWI approached, I began working on a collaborative project with Ngatimoti historian, Ed Stevens, to retrieve some detail about the lives of the men on the Ngatimoti Memorial who served in the Great War, but have become lost in time. The West Coast has its own fascinating history and maybe after I've lived here longer, its stories will also call to me. |
