Anzac Day: the New Zealand story book launch x 2

Following the first launch in Wellington  we then held a second launch in Auckland, this time hosted by the National Library in Parnell. Christine Thomson and Amanda Robinson were both there from New Holland Publishers, as well as Nick Turzynski who did the amazing design work. Maria Gill said some very kind words in introducing the book, the National Library staff were wonderful hosts and and John Graham from Paper Plus was a very genial bookseller.

Anzac Day: the New Zealand story book launch x 1

Thanks to everyone - friends, family and members of the writing community who came along to one of the two book launches for my new book Anzac Day: the New Zealand story.

The Wellington book launch was very kindly hosted last Thursday by John and Ruth McIntyre of the wonderful Children's Bookshop in Kilbirnie, and Stephen Clarke, Chief Executive of the RSA, did the honours of formally introducing the book.
