I thought the below might be of interest. Obviously I'm totally biased because the first article is about me :-)

Ooooh, interesting.

Don't take this the wrong way but I've never heard of you before, which I find troubling as a Kiwi myself.

Where could I find your work? I'm very interested in reading it.

No worries. You wouldn't have heard of me. I've been writing for years but this is my first real success. As I allude to in the article I've always had an interest in Victorian magicians but this novel was my first foray into steampunk. I have fallen in love with the genre and I am about 30,000 words into my new novel which is also steampunk. I'm off to the festival at Oamaru this year where I am running a writing workshop, and I'm hoping to get to Thames and some of the other events around NZ.

My book, The Traitor and the Thief, is released in NZ and Australia in August 2017.

I would be delighted if you did read it and would welcome any feedback because I feel I still have much to learn.

Whereabouts in NZ are you?

Thanks,

Auckland, and generally too strapped to travel so I don't think I'll be making Oamaru this year.

Yes. My trip to Oamaru is going to drain the coffers somewhat.

Is there a vibrant Steampunk community in Auckland?
