She has more recently built her own successful\, brand consultancy iSPY. She has turned her hand from brand stories to human stories with the help of creative writing courses at RMIT and Fiona McIntosh’s Masterclass. War of Hearts is a heart-stopping novel of love in a time of war. Set against the backdrop of World War One and spanning three continents\, this is a heart-stopping story of forbidden love and courage that explores the nature of faith\, the quest for redemption and the true meaning of grace. Staged in partnership with Collins Booksellers on Lydiard. \n \n War of Hearts What began as a holiday in France in 2019\, has inspired an epic World War I tale of secrets and forbidden love. After stumbling on a story about a spy network\, know as La Dame Blance\, historical fiction writer\, Tania Farrelly spent two years poring over information about the civilian intelligentsia\, which would eventrually go on to be run by the British military. The story led the author to a war museum with an exhibit of trinkets found abandoned in the mud of the Somme. Each item was likely very precious to someone and had its own story of love and loss to tell\, I thought: “What if one of these long-lost trinkets held the clue to solving a mystery?” Farrelly said. Eventually\, her research and wonderment formed the storyline of War of Hearts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n War of Hearts | Tania Farrelly\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Enquiries:  Any event specific enquires should be direct to library@ballaratmi.org.au \n \n \n \n \n \n $10 per person plus booking fee & gst \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Here\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download flyer\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Collins Booksellers\, Ballart on Lydiard will be handling book sales for the event. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Why Not become a member\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This event is a BMI Community Cultural Project – Ballarat’s Oldest Cultural Institution \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ballarat National Theatre | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n Lots to dig about The Dog Logs by Evie Lamb\,... \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Twilight Talks 2026 | Ballarat Times by Evie Lamb\n BMI’s Twilight Talks Return by Evie Lamb\, Ballarat Times The... \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Rosemary’s Book of the Week\n Peg Rankin: A Journey of Faith and Resilience Peter Rankin... \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Executive Manager Update – April 2026\n Executive Manager Update – Nev Ivey Since commencing at BMI\,... \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Load More URL:https://ballaratmi.org.au/event/painting-with-geoff-roderick-8-june-22/ LOCATION:Soldiers Hill CBD | Pop-up\, 512 Macarthur Street\, Soldiers Hill\, Victoria\, 3350\, Australia CATEGORIES:Art programs,BMI Produced Event,Culture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://ballaratmi.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/IMG_6524.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20220531T103000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Melbourne:20220531T120000 DTSTAMP:20260412T074430 CREATED:20220426T044236Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220603T035153Z UID:18548-1653993000-1653998400@ballaratmi.org.au SUMMARY:The Reading Room | 31 May DESCRIPTION:Tania is an award-winning advertising strategist who has spent over twenty-five years working in Australia’s leading advertising agencies\, telling stories for the world’s biggest brands.
