I’m a writer based in Hikurangi, north of Whangārei, in New Zealand. I’ve published two books of poetry, This hill, all it’s about is lifting it to a higher level and Big Love Songs. For 6 years I wrote regular columns for Northland’s daily newspaper, The Northern Advocate, which can be read online via the New Zealand Herald website here. A selection of my fortnightly weekend columns have been posted on this site.
