Chic City Crime, Sunday 12 June, 11:00 AM - MIDDAY, the Joy Cowley Room at the Royal Hotel.
Two women on a mission vie with tattoo artists, rough sleepers and dodgy taxi drivers on the streets of Auckland and Wellington to get to the truth of the terrible crimes they've witnessed.
Angelique Kasmara (Isobar Precinct) and Anne Harré (The Leaning Man) talk with Paula Morris about their stylish and provocative crime novels that show our cities in a way we’ve never seen them before.

War in the Motu
Sunday 12 June, 11:00 AM – MIDDAY, Waimarie/RSA. $15
There has been a torrent of literature about New Zealanders fighting in foreign wars, and now, finally, the story about wars in our own country is being told. These wars – The Musket Wars (1806-1845) and the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872) – profoundly shaped, and still shape, the course and direction of our nation’s history. Paul Diamond explores the events, causes and consequences of these defining conflicts with writers and historians, Vincent O’ Malley (The New Zealand Wars Nga Pakanga o Aotearoa)and Ron Crosby (The Forgotten Wars: Why the Musket Wars Matter Today).
