A few years ago I decided to combine my three books of short stories into one edition. More economical to print and so more economical to buy. But that meant I stopped selling the three separate books. Now, as I'm running out of stock of the 'combined' edition, I have decided to deeply discount the three separate books. So I'm selling the three of them -- Nana's Special Day and other stories, The Dolphin and other stories, and Quickies -- more than 70 of my short stories, worth $73.50 if bought separately, for the price of one: $24.50. To order: just email me your address and I'll send you online banking instructions and your books by return post. ('While stocks last' as they say.)

My Name
Bit of stink last week because the minister of education, Hekia Parata, accused school teachers of mispronouncing the names of their Maori and Polynesian students. And the teachers didn't like it.
Fancy that: teachers didn't like being told off by someone in authority. Thought they were being patronized.
Interesting that I met a Maori man, long ago, who told me how he had to change his name in primary school because his teacher said she couldn't pronounce it. I turned that into a short story and included it in my book Nana's Special day and other stories.
Email me and I'll send you a PDF copy of that story.
