New Release: Children's Book
I write and publish books for today's children and tomorrow's adults. My first book entitled Bobby Bear, Freddy Fox and the Big Five Safari Adventure, has just become available via Amazon and Kindle.
This book (for 3-9 year olds) focuses on anthropomorhic characters, Bobby Bear and Freddy Fox, best friends who are always competitive. On their African safari they decide to have a competition to see who takes the best photos of the Big Five. Bobby and Freddy can’t wait to explore the African bush with Manny Meerkat and Harry Hyena, their very interesting safari guides at Lubonzela Lodge. Who will see a lion, elephant, African buffalo, leopard or a rhino first? Will they get to see the Big Five and who gets the best photos? This is where the fun begins…

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
