2025 Writing Highlights: Reviewing

As an indie author, with ~95% of my book sales being ebooks or audiobooks and ~98% of my readers living outside New Zealand, my promotional efforts tend to be focused online.

So, it’s a real highlight and unexpected thrill whenever I capture the attention of a local reviewer and/or get coverage in traditional media! In 2024 I made it into newspapers and 2025 found me in magazines and on the radio – what might 2026 bring?

2025 writing highlights (3 of 9): Reviewing. Book reviews including on Radio New Zealand National; The New Zealand Listener magazine; and Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine.
