Life After 6 - About optimism and survival

This blog is about life and how I see it.

Life may never last long for someone like me. It may be short but it is about the attitude. About how you manage, about how you can laugh at things and find the gems that make life bearable and positive.

Here on this site (among other things) is where I retell experiences that I have fortunately or unfortunately, undergone and however stupid and entertaining they may be, I hope it may aid you in your day.

Writers in Schools

I’m proud to be part of the New Zealand Book Council’s Writers in School programme that sends top Kiwi writers into schools to inspire and encourage young readers.

Since being part of the programme, I’ve spoken to over 12,000 students across Auckland and their reaction has been nothing short of astounding. I have an ever growing pile of letters from the students that not only inspire me but are a confirmation of our need to continue to encourage and develop the imagination of our students.
