John Stephenson
John Stephenson lives in the Blue Mountains region of Australia, a World Heritage forest site.
In his new novel Requiem For A Riot John Stephenson takes the reader into the gritty, momentous and often dangerous world of Australia’s military capital, Brisbane during World War II—all without losing a sense of romance, beauty and humour.
It follows on John’s earlier novels The Baker’s Alchemy, an original and exhilarating twist on the Marriage Plot set in nineteenth-century Poland, and The Optimist, the true 1891 story of the Australian poet Christopher Brennan’s shambolic and ebullient love for two women in his youth.
