May 22: Kate de Goldi – author of adult and children’s fiction including the award-winning runaway bestseller 10 PM Question (Longacre) and the picture book Clubs. Kate is also a fine reviewer of children’s books (National Radio/TVNZ) and is working on a history of a pre-eminent children’s book collection.

June 26: Carol Henderson – memoir: Searching for Grace (Steele Roberts). A fascinating insight into the scandals of the Edwardian upper classes, the book has a growing number of UK readers because it tells a similar story to the BBC TV’s popular Downton Abbey series.   

July 24: Jo Thorpe – poetry: In/let (Steele Roberts). Jo is a dancer, dance reviewer and teacher of dance history, and writes poems that ‘dance’ – in their delicious language, musicality and themes.

August 28: Peter Walker – historical fiction and non-fiction: The Courier’s Tale (Bloomsbury) and The Fox Boy. Peter is an expatriate NZer living in London who is back in Wellington as the Randell Cottage writer in residence. The Courier’s Tale is a powerfully written novel about Henry VIII through the eyes of a young courier working for Reginald Pole.
