Aroha

Joanna’s fine with her random urges. She’s confident in her ability to paint masterpieces that fetch millions in a world of shrinking coasts, violent storms and all but outlawed paper. She’s clueless about everything else and the discovery that although dead, her mother Aroha is far from gone and is largely disapproving of her choices is just another thing to worry about.

She has awaited her daughter’s return home for 24 years and is none too happy with the lazy, messy, pot-smoking result. As if things weren’t hard enough, without a mortal body to help manage her phantom physical urges, Joanna’s new boyfriend Tristian, with his loose wandering soul and tight morals, presents an awkwardly arousing distraction. A distraction from the secret Aroha desperately wants hide from Joanna…

Science Fiction, Fantasy, Psychology

I grew up in New Zealand before moving to the United Kingdom where I lived for over two decades until moving to China months before the COVID 19 outbreak just as I planned (well not really…).

Back before Google was invented when dinosaurs roamed the earth and well after punch-cards weren’t a thing anymore, I qualified and worked in information technology and later, Psychotherapy, which is like debugging people’s brains. I played games on the Amstrad CPC6128 and the Commodore 64 then lost interest. I might be the only programmer who doesn't game.

Now I'm learning Mandarin and writing books. I'm a lifelong avid reader (escapist really...) of psychology, science fiction and fantasy, I look forward to contributing many more of my works to the world’s store of fascinating and entertaining tomes in these genres.

When I'm not reading or writing, I like coffee (the good kind) running, hiking, and spending time with friends and trying to play the guitar.
