This is just the mini episode—catch the full conversation anywhere you listen to podcasts!

Kia ora, and welcome to Kaituhi Kōrero: Author Talks, the podcast where we celebrate and amplify the voices of indie authors from New Zealand and Australia.

I'm Jess, your host, founder of Pae Pukapuka and a passionate supporter of local storytelling. Each episode I'll be sitting down for an inspiring chat with an Indie Author to explore their journey, uncover their creative process, and dive into the stories behind their books.

Whether you're an author, an avid reader, or just curious about the magic behind the words, this is the place for you.

So grab a cuppa, settle in and join me as we uncover the stories behind the storytellers.

This is Kaituhi Kōrero: Author Talks where every author has a voice.

Brought to you by Pae Pukapuka. New Zealand's Indie bookstore, showcasing the incredible work of Indie authors.
