Another school holidays is done and dusted... which means my latest Creative Writing workshop for rangatahi and tamariki is in the books ✍️

A massive thank you to Te Atatū Peninsula Library for being tremendous hosts 🫶

I know the future of art is under threat due to AI, so it's always a pleasure to meet the next wave of Kiwi authors who are willing to put pen to paper 🫶

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to capture any photos (there's a reason I'm an author and NOT a photographer), sooo here's a photo of a guinea pig dressed up as Katniss Everdeen instead 🐹

Arohamai, e te whānau - if you're coming down to visit us today, please note that our main entry door is currently out of action. But never fear, you can still get in! You can take a lovely stroll through Jack Pringle Village Green and enter the library through our side doors, or head to the back of our building and come in through the car park entrance.

Our contractors are working as fast as they can to get us back up and running!
