Description
Sequel to A Note in the Margin
Christmas can be a time of love and joy, but to three men at the bookstore called Margins, it also brings reflection on what was and what will be, highlighting the importance of home and family during a hot Australian Christmas. Their lives are intertwined by the bookstore, but individually David has difficulty reconnecting with the son he knew, John discovers something about the father who abandoned him, and Jamie braces himself for what he thinks will be his first Christmas on his own.

Person
A black cat for a witch may be a cliché, but add a whole bunch of tribal tattoos and an intolerance to garlic (seriously), and you have Isabelle Rowan.
Having moved to Australia from the North East of England as a small child, Isabelle now lives in a seaside suburb of Melbourne where she teaches film making and English. She is a movie addict who spends far too much money on traveling... but then again, life is to be lived. Writing was something I always did for fun - then life got in the way. Writing became essays and reports rather than the simple joy of letting a muse guide your pencil. Stories were the stuff of daydreams. Luckily (for me) I read something on line and thought - I wonder if I can do that? As simple as that! I'm not saying writing comes easily because there are times when I have no clue what I'm doing. But I believe it allowed me to get closer to the person I need to be. I'm slow, I procrastinate, and can be very frustrating, but it's only because I care.
