My characters are real, thoroughly researched and authentically portrayed but not famous in their own time. Personal stories: My repertoire includes stories from the 1950s including childhood stories taken from memory. Many of my characters are also ancestors. Sacred stories: My stories celebrate the contribution of ordinary New Zealand women of 19th and 20th centuries. They are sacred to me. Humorous: The lives of down-to-earth women are full of humour. I have never had an audience that did not smile. Ghost: stories that explore the unexplained and inexplicable. Myths/legends: Maori myths and legends.
