Mainly M/M. Just finished self-publishing a bunch of books released when Samhain and Loose Id closed. Working on a MF steampunk romance now.

:grouphug:

I am both kiwi and aussie, and I've already stuck my head in the aussie thread, so thought I better come in here and say hello to the other side of the Tasman too Grin

Half of my steamy romances are set in NZ, the other half in some unnamed location. The Sci-fi is set in outer space :)

I have one series softly set in NZ, one in the UK... my books tend to be set in whatever country I was living in at the time.

Post by: KateG on October 02, 2018, 02:17:42 PM: Hi all, fellow Kiwi here. I don't have my book covers or anything up for my profile yet, but I write f/f fiction, mainly historical romance and previously supernatural suspense. I tend to set my work here in this country, but have also used Australia and Britain as settings.

Pleased to meet you all!

Post by: baldricko on October 14, 2018, 01:26:00 PM: How about a New Zealander living in Sydney?

I have written novels I like to think fit with Mystery, Thriller & Suspense in the SF vein. Hi there Kiwis.

Anyone in Wellington going to Lit Crawl (https://www.litcrawl.co.nz/), 8 - 11 November?

Or maybe you're in Auckland and going to the Auckland Book Festival (https://nzbookfestival.co.nz/), 17 November?

Post by: baldricko on March 18, 2019, 05:58:22 PM: Yes, it's very very shocking. We need to know a lot more about what happened. There are so many questions to be answered.
