Hi there,

I now have a website with ongoing news and a blog: https://www.louisemaich.com/

Have to say though, I have a soft spot for this olde bloggie. It's been a part of the book project since 2011 and has kept you all informed of the book's progress, from its early days to the publication of Finding Frank in 2023. It's helped keep me sane also! Having somewhere to share the journey and receive all your lovely messages of encouragement, and support throughout the years. Thank you.

So, I will continue to post here, after all this is the old campsite, not ready to kick dirt over the camp fire just yet : ) But please also visit the website for book reviews, in depth articles, some great messages from readers, upcoming book events and links to other social media including my Frank Erceg Project facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1310048239942000 

Off to boil the billy

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.
