Before turning to fiction, I divided my time between academia (in Australia, the USA, and South Africa) and urban policy consulting across Southern Africa. Throughout my life I have dreamed plays, movies and books whose origins lay in something I saw, read or did. Aside from a play many decades ago, it was heading into retirement that I wondered about actually writing them. The Bologna Miracles 1498 offers a satirical take on present-day academia and the Church—made possible by the safe historical distance of early-Renaissance Italy. The idea was sparked by reading that physicists can’t disprove the possibility of time travel. It’s purely coincidence that, circa 1498, Michelangelo, Copernicus, and the next Pope were in Bologna, with Leonardo da Vinci just down the road. The First Violin, set in Vienna and a Mauthausen subcamp, 1938-1945, is the exception. I have no idea why I dreamed the novel when visiting Kanazawa, Japan. The novel required a couple of years of research, including valuable periods at the Library of Congress and the Holocaust Museum, and time in Vienna, a wonderful city.
