Hello again:

 

A lot has happened since I last wrote. My book Charlie Tangaroa and the Creature From the Sea was awarded the Margaret Mahy Supreme Winner in the 2021 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. That was incredible.

Then it won an Ibby Award



And is to be published by French publishers Au Vent des Ïles (2025).

Just recently, book 2, Charlie Tangaroa and the God of War, was released into the wild. Below the video, is a link to the transcript of the launch speech. We launch the book first in Kirikiriroa Hamilton hosted by the 2024 Australasian Children's Literature Association for Research Conference at the University of Waikato and then at Scorpio Books the following week.





First review

 Me and my husband, Phillip

The wonderful Rachael King launched the book and here we are with the lovely and talented Heather McQuillan.
