This website showcases my work as a freelance writer.
My regular contract work with Rangiora-based lifestyles magazine essence is fairly varied: from 1300 word features of local interest through to snippets of news on businesses and events.
My work has also appeared in other magazines. For more info on my writing career, please go to the about page.
Over the past three months at essence, I've profiled Don McGlashan ('Anchor Man', May) who delivered a memorable performance at the Old Mill in Waikari on April 16; the Canterbury Recreational Aircraft Club, including my experience of a flight over the Ashley River ('Fine day for flying', June); and accomplished mountaineer and mountain guide Lydia Bradey ('Accepting Challenge', July).
Avenues has also kept me busy. I wrote June's cover story about sporting legends Anna Simcic (who now goes by her married name Anna Forrest) and Annelise Coberger. They were both so friendly and patiently endured all my nosey questions, for which I am thankful. For the In Business pages, I wrote about Tandem Studios, a leading recording studio for New Zealand artists; it also boasts the South Island's largest voice agency.
For July's edition of Avenues, I contributed a feature on the homes and lifestyles of the city's antique dealers and also visited an Ohoka home that has had a substantial re-design and renovation.
And here's one for the blokes! Not so long ago, I spent an interesting day in rural North Canterbury with Andy Abernethy and his ever-growing collection of old crawler tractors. His passion for all things on tracks stems from the days his father sat him on his 1953 Caterpillar D4 bulldozer. You can read all about Andy in the winter edition of Heritage Matters.
