The second of my 2024 highlights was joining fellow authors for a panel discussion, in front of a real, live, in-person audience! ‘Mysterious Manawatū’ was part of the Ngaio Marsh Awards ‘Mystery in the Library’ event series and was held at the Palmerston North City Library.
I was rather nervous going in but ended up having a fantastic time chatting with Bing Turkby, Riley Chance, Gigi Fenster, and MC Hugh Dingwall from Manawatu People’s Radio. Of course, the real treasure was the friends I made along the way!

If you’re keen to come along to any future in-person events I do, jump on my mailing list – it’s free and absolutely the best way to keep up to date! As a thank you from me, you’ll get a bunch of exclusive short stories sent to you right away, then regular updates once or twice a month.
