Bibliographer Carol Hetherington tells us her own tale of sleuthing through the To Be Continued database and Trove as she attempted to track down a mysterious author who wrote story after story…after story.

How did she track down the enigmatically named Roland Quiz? And what do the stories behind the many pseudonyms found in Trove tell us about the people who wrote Australia’s fiction in the newspapers of the time?
