Just started reading which is reading luxury I reckon (I say this as someone who loves reviewing books).<br /><br />I do think we have a might fine community of fiction writers - young and old, from north to south, published by all of our publishers dedicated to fiction.<br /><br />I reviewed a lot of NZ fiction sat year and I would sing its praises as highly as I sing NZ poetry's. don't know how to post a link to my review sorry on my IPad.Paula Greennoreply@blogger.com
