Where should a Wellington publisher be when a 6.2 magnitude
earthquake hits the Capital…
I was in Whitcoulls, Lambton Quay, at 2.31pm when it
struck… browsing the front of shop displays that immediately tumbled all around
me onto the shop floor!
… including copies of our recently published The Shaky
Isles – New Zealand Earthquakes by Anna Rogers. Two young shop assistants
froze, hugging one of the round pillars as the building rocked…
Fortunately I had had a few wines with lunch which helped to
ease the tension… but confession… like everyone else… it was a
frightening experience…
Happy shakes…
