    Malla Nunn is the author of A Beautiful Place to Die and when she made contact after I reviewed her novel, I wasted no time in asking her if she would be willing to be featured on Meet an Aussie Author.

    Malla was born in Swaziland, a sovereign state almost completely encircled by South Africa, but now she’s an Aussie. Her family moved to Perth in the 1970s where she went to school and university.   After further study in the US, where she worked in film, she returned to Australian and now lives in Sydney with her American-born husband and children.  She’s made three award-winning films: Fade to White, Sweetbreeze, and Servant of the förfäder, and her debut novel in the Emmanual Cooper series was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Novel and the Macavity Awards for Best First Mystery Novel while Blessed are the Dead (No 3 in the series) was nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Paperback Original.

She has worked as a high school teacher, an academic, a National Parks officer, a museum administrator as well as excavating sites in Jordan, Cyprus and Greece. And she has led various historical archaeology projects in Australia.

    Judy has written a hell of a lot – school textbooks, academic publications, government reports and a biography of Jim Stewart, the first person to teach archaeology in Australia.

    And then came a wonderful break – in 2017 she was awarded a QANZAC Fellowship by the State Library of Queensland to pursue research
