Author - Lynette Silver
Accomplished local author on a variety of topics,
particularly investigative history.
While her investigations include areas further a field than Australia, you can see from
the titles and descriptions below that there is VERY much a local community focus.
This is evidenced by an article in the Hornsby Advocate, Thursday March
18, 1999 entitled "Finally at rest after life in the hell
hole". (For details of this article, contact webmaster@tovegin.com.au).
