My new novel Lives We Leave Behind is now in book shops throughout New Zealand and Australia and is also available online. The Dunedin launch takes place on 8 November when students and staff from the School of Hospitality at Otago Polytechnic will host a First World War themed event complete with music and food from Egypt and France, the settings for the novel. A second launch will be held on 6 December in Wellington at the 2012 Ako Aotearoa Symposium followed by a January celebration at Dorothy Brown’s in Arrowtown. By then the novel will be well and truly launched!
