Fraud is no stranger to the world of art. Forged signatures on paintings, fake 'masterpieces' and illegal castings of sculptures-all make front-page news. Yet the person we identify as the 'artist' usually rings true. On a visit to Australia, Mal, an arts reporter living in France, stumbles-or thinks she has stumbled-onto a quite different kind of fraud when she attends the opening of a major exhibition at a prestigious Sydney art gallery. There is something not quite right about the man who is presented as the high-profile French artist Denis Denarius. She convinces her brother Parry to accompany her back to France to investigate. Once there, Mal also enlists the aid of her husband Ludo and his lawyer sister Apolline. Their search for the artist takes them from mountains of Haute-Savoie to the hillside villages of Provence in an increasingly bizarre set of circumstances. In It Happened Tomorrow, Susan Steggall, an art historian with a love of art on the edge, combines erudition and humour in an entertaining tale of love lost and found against a backdrop of dirty deeds and warped ambition.

Alpine Beach: A Family Adventure is an autobiographical account of a decade the Steggall family spent in the alps of south-eastern France. In 1978 we (John, Susan, Zeke aged seven and Zali, four) left Australia to live in the Alps of southeasternFrance, so beginning an extraordinarily successful relationship with wintersport competition. We went neither for work nor study, but simply for the adventure of it. Although the decision to leave was simple, the actual going was more complex - finalising business affairs, packing up our lives - but leave we did: family, friends and financial security. We spent ten years in the mountains, the passing seasons marked by the children's progress in ski racing. It was an active, energetic life with few comforts or possessions. Time, effort and ingenuity we had aplenty - of money there was little to spare. The passing seasons were marked by our children's progress in ski racing and our experiences of living in two cultures, two languages. Alpine Beach is the record of that magic time.

Forget Me Not encompasses life in Australia and France in the 1980s as well as on the Great War battlefields of the Somme and in occupied France during World War II. For Australians the wars of the twentieth century were always 'over there'. Australians lost their soldiers and nurses but their homes were, for the most part, safe. French families lost everything: their children, their towns and their livelihoods. Very little is available in English about their experiences so I wanted to write about them. With the centenary commemorations for the events and battles of World War I approaching in 2014 and beyond, this novel, with its focus on one soldier's tragedy is a timely reminder of the greater horrors of war. Forget Me Not charts a woman's journey of self-discovery while researching the mystery of her grandfather's presumed death during the assault on Mont Saint-Quentin in northern France at the end of August 1918. The story Rose uncovers is more shocking and ultimately more wonderful than anything she could have expected to find. Readers lap up everything written about France in general and Provence in particular but my heart is in the mountains. While researching the history of the Savoyard people, I chanced upon material relating to the loss and recovery of Chambéry's Centenary Monument, known affectionately as La Sasson. Her remarkable story enabled me to link Australia to France, World War I to the present day.
