I mostly write fantasy in various forms, from supernatural elements in a contemporary world to swords and castles, but I would really love to be able to write comedy. My main editor complains that everything I write comes out melancholy or scary, even if I don't intend it to! #NZWrites 💙📚🪐 #Pukapuka

I'm trying to find the balance between telling people about my new book coming out soon, and being annoyingly repetitive. #BookSky #IndieAuthor #Pukapuka #SpecFic #FantasyBooks

An extract from "There Is A Stranger Here":
Ponderous drops grew heavier and the wind rose to a howl across the wall. Just as he grasped the handle to pull open the door to warmth and safety, Mikel heard a scream.

I reviewed Mike Joy's memoir "The Fight For Freshwater" for the December issue of Takahē Magazine. It's a really good read – and Mike has had a fascinating life in all sorts of interesting ways.

Coming out on the brighter side
Randy Scobey found his faith, but it was sorely tested after he came out as a teen. His experiences led him into the abusive world of gay conversion therapy, and he helped shut down one of its most influential proponents. Today, as a gay man of faith, he recounts his experiences in a memoir that he hopes can save lives in the rainbow community. Jack Yan reviews Randy’s new book, Why: a Memoir
