I'm waiting on a stack of books and DVDs from the Auckland Libraries. Went online and found an extensive list of authors and a variety of interesting subjects on the deer hunting industry in New Zealand. Need to brush up on my research as I've been asked to write some articles for a NZ hunting magazine, which is great, a win win situation, I get paid for it and at the same time learn more.
Until then I'm reading Gerard Hindmarsh's Angelina a beautifully written book of real life turned into not quite fiction but a sub-genre called faction (factual but fictionalised).
It's the story of his Italian grandparents coming over from the island of Stromboli and settling on the remote D'Urville Islands in Cook Srait. Its a nice respite from all the deer hunting books although I'm keen to get back into reading more about all that. I've requested some of Bruce Banwell's books which feature some of Frank's photos, these books are hard to find in any book shop and expensive.
Well... I have writing to get on with and another cup of coffee..more later.
