In this episode, we meet Ruth Bonetti - author, classical musician, and one of the more remarkable voices in Christian writing today.Ruth's journey spans continents and languages, moving from a global career in classical music to an award-winning bibliography that includes educational music publications and historical memoirs drawn from her Nordic heritage. Her multilingual background and experience presenting across multiple continents bring a rare international depth to her storytelling.Now, having already made her mark in nonfiction, Ruth is turning toward historical fiction, exploring the lives of influential figures in music. For Christian writers and readers alike, her ability to weave together artistry, heritage, and faith makes this a conversation worth savouring.This episode serves as a warm introduction to Ruth's creative vision and her continued contribution to the Christian Authors Showcase in Queensland — a community where faith-based writing truly comes alive.Ruth Bonetti's career in classical music became a passport to the world. She is author/editor of a dozen publications about music, education, performance and historical biography; five through her imprint Words and Music and two with Oxford University Press. Palette of Grace: A collection of short works and the subsequent Symphony of Grace (which she co-edited) were listed as Notable Books in The Weekend Australian. Ruth is fascinated by stories of real people, past and present. Destiny led her to Sweden and Finland, where she researched her grandfather's story, resulting in her award-winning Midnight Sun to Southern Cross trilogy (historical biography/memoir). Ruth has presented extensively in Australia, for seven years in Europe (speaking German, French and Swedish) and USA. Moving from nonfiction to fiction opens an exciting new vista: reworking research into historical novels from Finnish, Estonian and Russian history. Her vision is to write a series of books about Musicians Who Changed History. https://www.ruthbonetti.com Christian Authors Showcase Queensland https://www.casq.online/
