First Talks in Ages

Waaqa, or hi everyone! Yes, I'm still in New Zealand and have actually embarked on my first series of talks for the year starting with a visit late April to a class of Year 9 students at Nayland College, after 'rather-a-lull'.
I followed that and headed down to Christchurch mid May to speak to the Fendalton Library members at Papanui Library while Fendalton Library is undergoing renovations. This was followed by a local talk in Motueka to the 'Crafty Tarts', both events providing thoroughly enjoyable chances to meet some of my readers. My next talk is to the Lions/ Lionesses at Motueka Golf Club is on June 18th.  I've even been invited to dinner first, so with Kotz swanning off to Bali for some heat and down time, I will be definitely ready to enjoy that treat.

I am currently coordinating my next North Island tour, which starts in the Waverley Library on August 6th, and finishes in Carterton about twenty libraries and one rest home later. I will admit to being blown away by some of the librarians, way up there in the North Island, who recognised me by name and were kind enough to inform me that my books were very popular there.
I promise to publish the final North Island schedule once times are all finalised. In the meantime, a huge thank you to all my readers and for all the correspondence I continue to receive.  So lovely to know you are out there and enjoying my books ... especially now, during these chilling nights.
