At the centre of the mayhem is Siddy Church". From Lin's website: "Lin Van Hek, an acclaimed Australian author, was born and raised in Melbourne. She lived for many years in India and Belgium. She was the lead singer of the electro-dance band, Skin The Wig, in the 80s, and a song she wrote and sang was part of the first Terminator film score in the US. She recorded a solo CD River of Life, featuring songs of New Zealand writer, Kath Tait. She has published two novels: The Hanging Girl, and The Ballad of Siddy Church, and has just completed her third, Katherine Mansfield's Black Paper Fan, as well as several books of short stories. She is a previous winner of the Melbourne Age Short Story Contest.
