Writers Talk – Adrienne Jansen
Kia ora, I’ve known Adrienne ever since I began teaching at Whitireia but I knew her books before then so it was a thrill to meet her in person.

Writers Talk — Frances Cherry
Kia ora. I have known Frances for ages — we’ve been writers forever, we’ve marched for the same causes, laughed at the same jokes, enjoy a glass of wine. We don’t see so much of each other these days because we live on different ends of the Wellington region and because we’re both busy — but I know, if I asked Frances for help, she’d be there in flash…come in Frances… (more…)
