Talk:Edwina Preston

Edwina Preston

Hi, thank you for the welcome.

Yes, I know that an internet search won't pull up a huge amount on Edwina Preston. Her book on Howard Arkley - who was just coming to prominence here in Australia - gained considerable media attention - and most of those reviews were in print, not online, and would now require considerable digging to extract as (we all know, not everything is online).

Her work with Harry Howard, and Dave Graney and Clare Moore (heavyweights here in Australia) is in itself not, perhaps considerable, but that she is one of the select number of musicians playing in Pope Crimes: the Songs of Rowland S. Howard, surely is of note.

Reason I thought she'd be a natural fit for Wikipedia is that, given she's still working and putting things out, and her activities concerning both Arkley and Rowland S. Howard are significant to those subjects.

Bit startled at the 'orphan' comment - I thought I'd linked her to both the Harry Howard and the Arkley pages; given that her publisher found considerable controversy with one of their books in the same series (the author got sacked from his job), and the other in the same series clocked in at an eye-watering 1200 pages, it's no wonder that she was asked to write about her experience in HEAT magazine. That would have to be cited too. I think I can find another review of her Ivorie Hammer book.

I might add I was modestly stunned to find Howard Arkley's own page neglecting the two major books on the man himself, despite his prominence (which I've since amended).Travershipfaber (talk) 06:40, 9 June 2021 (UTC)Travershipfaber
