Haha ... yay. Our Dunedin branch is shut today so un-yay for that.

Although after the trouble Timaru had with the big freeze and power outtages ... snow makes me nervous.

Your picture made me smile before I pressed on it to get to your blog. Lovely funny snowman!

Very endearing fellow, your snowman, Vanda!

I left a message on my blog for you and your boys earlier today (introducing the marvelous Bill Peet + leaviing his web address).

Lucky you having your Mum for an extra day! Enjoy.

Hi Vanda

This is a bit of a repeat of a comment I made to Rachael King's blog this morning.

I'd seen your name on her comment schedule from time to time, thus when I saw 'Overkill' facing me on the returns shelf at the library last week, thought I should read it (and because the blurb caught my interest :) )

I started Sunday, and will finish tonight - it's a great read. I see you have a second Sam Shepard novel out, so I'll not be a cheapskate second time around and go buy one (from an independent of course :) )

And now I see May on your blog, I must, must, must get around to 'The Blue' also.

... and there's a good question. Where are all the NZ male writers blogs?

Typo: Mary, not May.

The snow day was fantastic - what fun, couldn't stop grinning all day.

Hi Mark, lovely to hear from you. The only male NZ writer I could think of who blogs is Martin Edmond, although I think he lives in Aussie now. You can look at his at http://lucaantara.blogspot.com

I wish more guy writers would blog, I'd love to know a bit more about how a man's mind ticks.

There are plenty of overseas male crime writers who blog, so I don't know what's stopping the NZers.

There are some other NZ male writers who run excellent blogs, the ones that spring to my mind first are:

Chris Else http://www.ventiak.com/

Scott Hamilton http://readingthemaps.blogspot.com/

Jack Ross http://mairangibay.blogspot.com/

Tim Jones http://timjonesbooks.blogspot.com/
