'Babies of the Rose' The Ace Radio Book Club has launched with a familiar voice heard on Kylie & Kev kicking off the celebrations with our first book of the month. Social affairs commentator Justin Smith is a journalist and broadcaster, now turned author and has released his debut fiction novel, 'Babies of the Rose'. Justin spoke with Kylie & Kev about the inspiration for the book. “I’ve been very lucky in my life, and honoured, to speak with veterans of six wars or conflicts that Australia has been involved in and you pick up a story or two from each one,” Justin said.
