Meet the Author – Margaret Cameron

ABOUT THE BOOK - Under A Venice Moon 

A Venetian holiday ignites Margaret's interest in the private city behind the tourist facade and the obscure tales from its history. Tantalized by stories of this lesser-known Venice, she returns for a one-month stay, determined to uncover the Venice of the Venetians.

Stepping out from her comfort zone, Margaret finds friendships along with adventure, and she makes a significant discovery: life can lead you along rewarding paths if you let it.

As each day passes her time in Venice becomes more than just an interlude; soon the floating city feels like home. Could she leave her satisfying life in Perth and start anew in Venice? The question becomes urgent when romance waits where she least expects to find it. A holiday romance, no more than that? Or the door opening to a new life?  

Margaret assesses her life's pathway, acknowledging the strength of culture and the bonds of home, the safety of the known balanced against the charm of the new. And she discovers that sometimes the greatest adventure of all is being open to chance, accepting outcomes and finding contentment with life as it is.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Margaret Cameron grew up and was educated in Perth. For many years a career in nursing kept her busy, leaving little time to pursue her interest in travel and writing. Post retirement she now spends part of each year in Venice.

Margaret has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Australia, which fostered her interest in historical research. Under A Venice Moon is her first book and she is planning another book, also set in Venice, describing the life of Marina Morosini, a cloistered nun and the lover of Giacomo Casanova.

Margaret has written short stories and numerous articles for magazines. Under A Venice Moon was featured in The Australian Woman's Weekly (April 2022) and in The Post newspapers (4th May, 2022).
