Beschreibung:
Jackie is originally from the UK, but she settled on Vancouver Island, Canada in 2004. She's married to Bob, a commercial fisherman and accomplished storyteller - like most fishermen!It was a culture shock to swap a fast-paced city life for Island living. It wasn't at all how Jackie had expected. She was intrigued by the pioneer spirit of their small communities, and the fight to hang on to traditional ways of living. In her experience, small towns 'with a heart' have claws and teeth as well and that makes the perfect back drop for a good murder!When Jackie's not writing, she is gardening, reading, or poking around local museums, looking for inspiration.
This book combines a critical survey of the ancient sources for Ennius' Annales with fresh interpretation of the surviving record.
