In Big Weather South, author Dave Cull features the dramatic big weather that comes our way: the floods, the strong winds, the droughts, the hoar frosts and snow, the big seas. He also covers the major influences on the New Zealand climate, our position in global circulation and the affects caused by being surrounded by a large area of ocean. He describes how fog, frost, and thunder storms are caused. Cull traverses not only the coastal regions, the mountains and hill country, but also investigates the plains and basins, such as the Maniototo and Cromwell Basin.
First published October 2009.

Robin Hyde, journalist, poet, novelist, war correspondent (from China, in 1938) and committed political figure, was central to the movements and debates of a volatile period in New Zealand society. As a writer Hyde was not afraid to draw on her own experience of the dangers of new-found freedoms for women. This first critical study of the diverse writings of Robin Hyde includes new information on her life and work and studies that enlarge our understanding of a courageous yet vulnerable figure and the vitality, richness and wit of her writing.

Fishing from the boat ramp – It’s a book of soul wisdom for
everyone who has a bit of the artist in them…It’s packed full of comfort, handy hints, truth, lovely scenery, and the
glorious freedom of being ~ Joy Cowley
Here is a book to inspire, impel and sustain the person who wishes to live creatively.
It is an allegory about a writer who struggles with her craft, with motivation and most of all with doubt. One day a guide, who she calls Godfrey, turns up. From winter till spring, on the beach where the writer lives, in the mountains and by the valleys and vines, the writer asks and Godfrey explains: what it is, this creative life, how to live it, and how to keep on going.
