Welcome and Haere Mai

There's nothing quite like spending time with a child on your knee enjoying a book, or two or three!

Having written stories when my own daughters were little, I now have three lively mokopuna who have re-inspired my writing, plus I now have more time to write!

With thanks to āku tamāhine (my daughters) for their guidance and knowledge of te reo Māori, arohanui.

My latest creation

FINW BLEED W.I.PKia ora to Nan's new name!.png

One day Nana lost her name... Manaia and Nikau wondered why it was 'suspicious' , and little sister Piata was always too busy to help them find out!

This heartwarming story will appeal to tamariki, koro, kuia and the whole whānau!
