I am a sixth generation New Zealander and the author of over a dozen
books - novels, poetry and collections of short stories. I have also written
for the stage, radio and screen. Most of my work is set here in Aotearoa,
both during our own times and in the past. Some of my books have been published
in Australia, Britain and the United States.
Here you will find extracts from reviews of all my books, a biography and some of my poetry.
