I'll be talking about the research and stories behind my three novels.

Brazilian rubber boom of the early 20th century; Magpie Hall (2009), a
story of tattooing, taxidermy and family secrets; and Red Rocks (2012), a
novel for children which transplants the Celtic selkie myth to the wild south
coast of Wellington.
