It went really well. I’ve updated with photos. Heaps of people! The cake was yummy. I might need to order a cake for the Wellington launch too.

Thanks! There will be a Wellington launch at some point. Not sure about an Auckland one though.

Hey Kim,
I’m Ryan’s wife, and I read mostly young adults and your’s looks absolutely awesome I’m a survivor of child abuse; physical, psychological and sexual… I just wanted to say I’m going to go buy it now, and can’t wait to read it, and wish there had been a book like that when I was younger.

That would be really cool, but the text in mine finishes right on the last page. Maybe I have a special early copy. :s

Hi Kim

Thanks, I’ve found Hazel great to work with as well. This was baptism-of-fire mentoring for me since we had what I considered quite a tight deadline!

I’ve checked out the other Ford Street titles and will hopefully pick up some titles when I come over for the launch in February. Yours stood out as one I’d like to read, and I liked the video as well. ‘Crossing the line’ was also a full-on story. I prefer to read (and write) realistic stories that push the boundaries and need to be told.

It is quite exciting! I pretty much wrote the book I would have wanted to have on hand at the start. If I’d read this in my teens I might have transitioned at 17 and not 27. No regrets though.

I think you’re the first kiwi I’ve met who’s even heard of Hazel! I seem to spend my life explaining who she is to blank looks. “She’s famous in Australia, really…”
