What a roller-coaster ride the past few weeks have been!
Pet launch Changing Covid-19 alert levels put paid to my book launch plans - but luckily Newsroom (and No.1 Family Estate Wine) came to the party with an online book launch! You can check it out here. Sophia from Mary Egan Publishing (and dog, Gus) even recorded a special launch speech, above. Podcast The Pet podcast is also available now! Thanks to OAR FM, Creative New Zealand and NZ On Air, the podcast is available via your favourite podcast app - and from the OAR FM website here. Publicity Thanks to ace publicist Sarah Thornton, the books have been getting some great media coverage too.
