Thrilled to have a poem included in this beautiful coffee table book. Will be out before Christmas and I’m certainly looking forward to it. It’s with the printers now. The team at Pavlova Press are wonderful to work with.

It was a wonderful event. Loved hearing more details about the processes you both - author & illustrator- used to create such a great book.
These are just adorable. Made by one of the students where I tutor on a Saturday. Just love them. So cute and tiny and with both version covers of my book.

It’s in the shops now. This is a personal copy rather than for the library. They’ll have to wait. And it’s got a map. Take the cover off and you get this gorgeous cover too.

My pile today from @ChristchurchLib 3 out of 4 are verse novels which is such a wonderful format. Already reading one on a lovely warm afternoon.
Wow. I cannot wait for this. The art work is stunning and the story so mysterious. Margaret Wild and Jane Tanner together. Just Beautiful. The girl from the sea. Haunting images & story @AllenAndUnwin @AllenAndUnwinNZ youtu.be/NOp9Gu93P1g
