Easter Bays Author named as finalist Ngaio Marsh Book Awards

Diane from Orakei

Hi, it was announced on Tuesday that my novel Nikolai's Quest is a finalist in this years Ngaio Marsh Awards for Best Kids/YA Novel. As a child I dreamed of writing a novel like Nikolais Quest. When I held it in my hand with my name on the spine it was a dream come true. Now I'm a finalist in awards named after NZ's late Queen of Crime. So pleased.
If you want to buy a copy, its on my website www.roseandfernpublishing.nz... or Amazon. Paperplus Eastridge and Little Book Shop Remuera might still have copies.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
