This is my latest children’s book illustrated by the wonderful @adelespencil.bsky.social. Once again Fanshaw narrates the funny, rewarding, and highly skilled antics of an RNZAF squadron in the 70s to the 90s. #HenryFanshaw #75Squadron #NZAuthor #RNZAF

I had fun with this. But some of the questions discombobulated me for sure!

I’m not normally attracted to crime thrillers, but this was an our book club selection. It’s well written and I was compelled to read to the last page but I really didn’t enjoy the content. Very dark. I need to read something light now.

It’s book launch time! I’m so lucky to have collaborated with illustrator Nikki Slade Robinson on this book. Come along and share in the excitement if you’re in Auckland on Sunday March 3rd.

On Christmas Day my husband introduced me to a new author (to me anyway) @emmadonoghue.bsky.social. Now I’m looking for more of her work. Great story-perfectly paced & worthy of being my first book finished in 2024. PS when I say introduced, he chose it based on the cover blurb! #LearnedByHeart

I’m not sure whether to be happy or concerned? Is it a good thing they’ve been spotted outside of their recent natural habitat? I hope so.

If you haven’t read John Camp ell’s piece on poverty yet, do so now. Beautifully written but most of all fucking infuriating - when centrist govts fail those that need them the most.
