Frank's article in Canvas magazine. Great two page spread with some of my favourite photos of him taken by his good friend and professional photographer, Dave Osmers.

PaperPlus Taumarunui

 My first in sore signing will be at Taumarunui PaperPlus. The hometown of the Erceg family and where Frank was born in 1934. Looking forward to seeing everyone there. 

Finding Frank is finding its way out into the world

Visited my local Whitcoulls store this week to find Frank on the top shelf. Move over Elon! Frank has arrived. 

A very proud moment to walk into a book shop and see your book sitting there.  I introduced myself to the staff, they asked me to sign the stock and I had a fab time chatting to some customers who were inspired to hear a bit about the book and offered their congratulations. Such a buzz.

So the book is available at most bookshops including of course Whitcoulls, and Paper Plus have been very supportive also.

 

A visit to Bateman Books - my publisher

Here I am in Bateman's foyer. Frank will be on the shelf in October.

I visited Bateman Books this week. Mainly to sign a bunch of books for NZ Deer Stalkers Assn. NZDA have 48 branches throughout NZ and around 8000 members. I'll be visiting some of these lodges and doing talks. And so looking forward to signing bloody truckloads (thank you very much in advance.) I was armed with my pen and after signing a few - a little nervously, don't screw it up Louise! I was on my way and must say, it's a damn fine feeling.

Signing books for NZDA

A very happy author!
