My debut novel, A Kind of Family, was released by Between the Lines Publishing on January 7th 2020 - the day I arrived here in Queenstown, New Zealand, to visit family. It was timely, as it was while visiting last year that I heard from the publisher to say they would like to bring my book to the reading public.

Also while here early in 2019, I met an amazing Maori man called Darren Rewi who is a local leader within the community, and who kindly read sections of my book. He later put me in touch with some key people in the arts world here. As a result, I will be giving three author talks in libraries. I will also be donating at least one volume, so that people who can't or don't wish to buy the book can still read it. But I will have some copies ready to sign, for those that do want to buy.

In case anyone is able to make it, the first talk will be this Thursday evening, 5.3-6.30 at Frankton Library.
