About This Book
THE POUNAMU PROPHECY. Two women, two cultures and an ancient Maori prophecy that will change their lives. Since she watched her village burn to the ground, Mere’s life has been anything but dull. Now as an older woman she has come to stay with Helene and James to finish writing her life story – a tale of injustice, revenge and reconciliation. But Helene and James have their own problems. After five years together, their marriage has become dull, predictable, boring… and it starts to unravel. Weaving fiction with the traumatic history of the Ngati Whatua tribe of Auckland, The Pounamu Prophecy sweeps from the sultry heat of Australia to the verdant shores of New Zealand. A place to purchase: Sonshine Bookcentre, Tauranga.

Her second book, The Silk Merchant of Sychar, won the 2021 Caleb Award and was a finalist in the 2020 Romance Writers Australia RUBY awards. She is trained in nutrition with a Master’s degree in Public Health, a Graduate Diploma in Communication and a Diploma of Theology.

She loves escaping to exotic places to meet the people, learn the history and try the food. She has chewed cow’s stomach in China, sampled saltbush (eaten by shepherds and their flock for protein and vitamins) at the ancient ruins of Dor, and drunk sweet water from Jacob’s Well in Samaria. She lives in a sunny nook of New Zealand where she has a love-hate relationship with her vegetable garden. Exercise is her stress relief; prayer is her sanity; coffee and croissants are her downfall.
