After 20 years of working in the film industry and living life in the fast paced city, I felt that it was time to move home with my whanau, and take time to work on my own projects. Now living in Whakatane, not far from where my whanau still live, I have started writing stories that interest me, stories that move me, that I hope will move and entertain others. My favorite genre is fantasy, and the ultimate goal is to incorporate fantasy with my Maori culture, and more inclusive characters into my stories.
