This month (Dec.), in 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman sighted New Zealand from his flagship the Heemskerck – a momentous event that features in my historical adventure ‘New Zealand: A Novel’.
Tasman would soon learn that the land he’d discovered was occupied by warlike peoples who called themselves Maoris. However, he would go to his deathbed mistakenly believing the new land was the Great Southern Continent. — Dec 12, 2025 03:06PM

"On page 89, "There is an interesting feminist reading of this part of Medusa's story, which suggests that we might see Athene's transformation of Medusa as an act of sisterly solidarity. In this interpretation, Athene saves Medusa from further sexual assault by making her undesirable to make gods who can and do force themselves on her. Medusa is also armed against attackers, because she has the power to turn them to stone."" — Feb 25, 2026 06:44PM
