About the Author

Barry Stone began his writing career as a freelance travel writer in 1997 and has since written for some of Australasia's leading travel magazines including Holidays For Couples, Australian Traveller, Destinasian, Destinations and various in-flight publications. His articles have often focused on historic hotels both in Australia and overseas.

In recent times, however, travel writing has taken second place to his new life as an author. In 2009 he wrote his first of two 90,000-word history titles for Murdoch Books, both due for international release in mid-2010, and has since been given a third title by a grateful commissioning editor.
