The New Zealand government, led by autocratic Prime Minister Wynyard Nairn, approves the establishment of a USA naval facility, and in the middle of Wellington's pristine harbour.

Given the anti-nuclear stance in the country, all hell breaks out!

Daily protests and rallies occur and threats of mayhem are made. Within days anarchy rules; Parliament is occupied, the US Embassy is attacked and two die, a major TV communications tower is destroyed and central Wellington is blockaded. But when the International Airport is forced to close, the situation reaches crisis point.

The Prime Minister, under increasing pressure from the scale of continuing protests, attacks the Police, threatening to remove their independence and bring in the army.

Will Nairn change his mind, is he even listening? Or will it be up to the people?

A story of democratic power and protest!

Life was never going to be simple for Travis Whittaker. Oxygen deprived at birth, he would never be as ‘quick’ as others his age. Younger sister Jennifer instinctively tries to protect him, from predators, from his ‘best’ friend Jace, and most of all from himself. But, who can these 1950’s New Zealand children trust? Waynton Police pick through the pieces of a series of puzzling, seemingly unconnected incidents. They eventually find some answers. But do they, can they discover what really went into the making of Travis?

This is a dark, convincing, frighteningly believable tale of things no child should ever have to endure.

"An enthralling insight into how the law can be manipulated for good and ill". Julian Paul is a Wellington barrister with a gambling problem. Anthony Samuels is a remand prisoner and Julian's client. He faces serious drug charges and is desperate for bail. Julian undertakes to arrange this - for an exorbitant fee - by blackmailing a Judge who had a homosexual relationship many years previously.

Will Julian succeed? Will he ruin his future and destroy his family in the process? Can same sex relationships be an expression of true love?

A delightful rhyming, colourfully illustrated story ideal for children aged 3 to 8 years. A blackbird makes her nest in Poppa’s neatly trimmed Eugenia tree and alarms Ollie. But then, he learns it really is the safest place to be, especially if you are newly hatched or dreaming you might be!

There’s even space at the end to write names of birds and plants and other things in your garden or Poppa’s and Nana’s garden.

Where do little sisters come from?

Ollie doesn’t know but he’s happy to have one. Now he’ll have a playmate and someone to share his toys. He can’t wait for her to grow!

Ideal for children aged 3 to 8 years. A companion book to "Poppa – There’s a Hole in Your Eugenia" – with more delightful illustrations by Rina Hiraoka.

Both books were written to mark the first birthdays of the author’s two youngest grandchildren, Ollie and Morgan.
