Her name was drawn by the farmer’s muddy paw from a hat held high by myself. Thanks for commenting, Sandra – and everyone. Warmest wishes to you all for the season. Rae

I adore Hokitika and hope you’ll enjoy the next book that starts off there. I have magnificent possum slippers that I do all my writing in, in winter. They are just the thing for hours on the computer.

My current wip is an historical about the first pioneer column going up into Rhodesia. If you have any knowledge about this time, please let me know. Enjoying the research immensely.

You’ll love the book – and you might also like to read Forbidden Frontier about the first European woman who reached NZ. Thanks for dropping by.

How serendipitous – I have recently started working at Hokitika Museum and am learning as much as I can absorb about this place and how it all came together during the 1860’s, particularly how the women fared. I also grew up in Rhodesia then Zimbabwe and married a Rhodesian, we came to NZ in 1995. What a lovely interview, I can’t wait to read the book 🙂
Many thanks
