Front cover of the young adult fiction book, “Ride North” by Maria De Jong. A girl, sitting on her pony’s back, stares out at the ocean and distant sand dunes, highlighting the special terrain of Te Tai Tokerau (Northland), Aotearoa.
The relationship between the main character, Folly, and her pony, Tooth, is just stunning.

No attraction. No desire. Nothing.

Lost in the dream. A grey empty landscape full of shadows. A grey moonlike orb hangs in the distance. A woman with long untidy hair wearing a sack like dark grey gown stands with her back to us looking in the direction of the moon/orb.
Back with struggling to stay awake again. Eyes streaming tears, bad hypnic jerks. Another day where I'm not going to get much writing done. #narcolepsy #disability #writing #nzauthor #nzwriter
Meow! Black Silk & Sympathy by Deborah Challinor. I liked this book about the only female undertaker in NSW at the time- wish there less “buttoning up” of stories and grit but I’ll still read the next one when it comes out
