Books by julia gregson6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() I rode a horse across Wales to do the research- a wonderful experience- and then went to Istanbul and Scutari where the rest of the novel is set. Orion published my first novel, THE WATER HORSE, in 2005. I enjoy writing short stories and have published in places like The Literary Review, The Times, Good Housekeeping, and read on the B.B.C. In the seventies, I was sent to Vietnam and India to write stories, and later to New York as a foreign correspondent for a group of Australian magazines (Sungravure) where I also worked for Rolling Stone Magazine.ĭuring this time, spent four days with Muhammad Ali in a boxer’s training camp in Pennsylvania, interviewed Buzz Aldrin in Houston Ronnie Biggs in a Brazilian jail at midnight president’s wives, film stars in Hollywood and several notorious criminals. I eventually started to write regularly for Australian magazines. ![]() ![]() Secretly wrote short stories that were never published. Gave up paid employment, poverty and panic followed, but eventually got more work as a journalist. In the seventies, and back in Australia again, love of horses led to riding out with Mick Jagger on the set of Ned Kelly and my first published article in The Sydney Morning Herald. I worked as a jillaroo in the Australian outback, a girl groom, a shearer’s cook, a secretary, a hospital cleaner, and later, back in England, as a house model for Hardy Amies in London. My father was in the Air Force, so after thirteen schools I left early longing to travel and have adventures. ![]()
