Congratulations to Sandra Sears who won a copy of Zana’s new book ‘Close to the Wind’. Her name was drawn by the farmer’s muddy paw from a hat held high by myself. Thanks for commenting, Sandra – and everyone. Warmest wishes to you all for the season. Rae

Sorry Catherine! I seemed to somehow have mucked up my reply to a while ago!

Thanks so much for dropping by and big hugs to you and your family with Merry Xmases all round!

Hello Frosty, how lovely to hear from you and how great that we overlap in several areas!

I adore Hokitika and hope you’ll enjoy the next book that starts off there. I have magnificent possum slippers that I do all my writing in, in winter. They are just the thing for hours on the computer.

My current wip is an historical about the first pioneer column going up into Rhodesia. If you have any knowledge about this time, please let me know. Enjoying the research immensely.

Have Zim friends up in the north – didn’t know some of you had reached Hokitika. You’ll love the book – and you might also like to read Forbidden Frontier about the first European woman who reached NZ. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Rae & Zana,
How serendipitous – I have recently started working at Hokitika Museum and am learning as much as I can absorb about this place and how it all came together during the 1860’s, particularly how the women fared. I also grew up in Rhodesia then Zimbabwe and married a Rhodesian, we came to NZ in 1995. What a lovely interview, I can’t wait to read the book 🙂
Many thanks
