Wholesome thread warning: over the past year I have authored and co authored three books. All of them were written at @Auckland_Libs. Here is Brothers In Black, written at Auckland Public Library in the city, most of it at this exact desk spot.

The is Heroics & Heartbreak, mostly written (the last bit was done in Tokyo) at the Leys Institute Ponsonby Library, which is unfortunately closed for repairs right now.

And finally Facing The Haka, which I did my share of at Remuera Library. Thank you @Auckland_Libs for giving me a place to achieve all these goals!

Libraries are amazing public spaces that need to be supported and cherished. They provide spaces for people like me to work, access to internet for folks who otherwise wouldn’t, and a place for children to come and learn. Oh yeah, they’re also full of books!

I’m very proud of the fact that my books will be on the shelves of libraries around Aotearoa for people to enjoy.
