In my not so humble opinion, New Zealand’s adopted Christmas tree, the Pohutukawa, is the most beautiful tree in the world. It’s certainly my favourite, and every time I see one covered in gorgeous crimson bristles I know Christmas is only weeks away. This photo was taken by my husband on a beach in the

Ready for eggnog and snowflakes and a roaring yuletide fire? Wait a minute – that doesn’t sound like a Kiwi summer Christmas, does it? It should be sunshine and cricket on the beach with lashings of whipped cream on a freshly made pavlova. Carly Gatlin (from Christmas With You Book #4) doesn’t want sand, sun,

Write space…

Everytime I wish I had an office to write in (as opposed to a desk crammed into the corner of our bedroom) I remind myself of one of my favourite authors, Stephen King, who reputedly wrote his first novel with a typewriter on his lap in a corner of a laundry room. Or somewhere just

It’s Saying I Do’s release day – Wheeee! It’s been a long time coming, but Joe and MacKenna’s book is finally available. This story was SO much fun to write, and it combined two three four of my favourite things: Weddings, eighties pop music, Irish accents, and ROAD TRIPS! As some of you may know,
