secret-gardenNovels (print and ebooks)

The Secret Garden – Frances Hodgkin Burnett (who can forget the first time they read this unforgettable novel? It’s billed as a children’s book but its definitely a book for all seasons. I’m loving it.

If all you ebook readers out there want to read more of my novels Huia Publishers have put The Skeleton Woman and Kissing Shadows on Amazon as ebooks. Just go to Amazon, put in the title and my name and they’ll zoom you there.

Nonfiction

I’m Your Man – Sylvie Simmons (Leonard Cohen) A very detailed, very dense book, not one I can read much of at a time, so it’s going to take a while. I’m not sure yet whether it’s a one-read book or a re-read.

Plays

Affinity – Sarah Delahunty’s new play (look out for it, coming up in the Wellington Fringe Festival)

DVD

Looking for Richard, Al Pacino’s film about a bunch of actors discussing, rehearsing, performing, scenes from Shakespeare’s play, Richard 111. Fantastic. Al Pacino plays Richard. After his magnificent performance as Shylock in the film, The Merchant of Venice, I wondered how he’d get on with Richard – but he proves yet again that he is the best.
