Gavin Bishop Part 5

Having discovered his family heritage links him to prominent Maori women we discuss their interesting involvement in The New Zealand Wars, and their strong connections to the Anglican Church in New Zealand at the time. We also hear about his hopes and disappointments of working with agents, the reprint of his book 'The House that Jack Built' which includes an inspired dust jacket - a must see for all! - and what Gavin now thinks is the most important thing to him when he writes his stories. You can see an amazing photo of Irihapeti Te Paea at the National Library of New Zealand. https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22891728?search%5Bi%5D%5Bname_authority_id%5D=-94018&search%5Bpath%5D=items More information about Gavin Bishop can be found at his website gavinbishop.com You can purchase and enquire about some of the books we discuss including 'Katarina' at Penquin Random House New Zealand https://www.penguin.co.nz/search?q=gavin+bishop and 'The House that Jack Built' at Gecko Press at Gecko Press https://geckopress.com/?s=gavin+bishop Hosted on Acast.
