On Society
This page collects my thoughts about society. I write fiction with a social conscience which means I like to look under the carpet at the ‘stuff’ we pretend isn't there. I’m not prolific (i.e. annoying) . I prefer that people say - they don’t write a lot, but what they do is worth reading. Sign up to my mailing list to hear when I’ve posted new material.

Letter to New Zealand’s richest man
Until I googled you, I knew little about you apart from the fact that you were wealthy. You will know nothing about me – I doubt you have read my books (though I hope I’m wrong). I’m interested in why you, a wealthy individual, just gave a large chunk of cash to the major right-wing political parties in New Zealand. I’d like to understand your views and actions, not judge them.
