Stratford is a very small town and dominated by a huge mountain Mount Taranaki (Taranaki Maunga in te reo/Māori). Taranaki Maunga is incredibly special to me. Every time I see it I know that I am "home" and I've included it in some way in every single one of my books.

Stratford (originally Whakaahurangi in te reo which means "look to the sky') was named after the English town and, due to the Shakespeare connection 67 streets in the town are named after Shakespearian characters!

Stratford is a blueprint for the town of Lumley in my first novel, Finding Home.(less)
