Hi Mark
Yes this is most interesting to read your blurb about your novel. I can’t wait to read it.

I hope it’s not too late to say ‘good luck with the short story’! I wonder how I can read it, them, more… Your writing, it’s wonderful, and what a process
I was knitting veggies for a friend’s wee baby this evening, thought of you, and here you are… All the very best, Mark

Kia kaha e hoa. Dont waste precious energy manifesting the fears and doubts of a pretender. Pretend instead that you are the dream you wish to be, confident and full-fledged, and so it will be.

Hi Mark – I think we knew one another in Glasgow in the early 90′s. I was hard work, you were inspirational. You will make supremely a gifted writer because you have a beautiful spirit and an inquiring mind. I wish you love and peace. Ramsay (as you knew me) x

Beautifully written. Love the use of literary devices i.e. foreshadow, parallelism, imagery. Really well done.

I’d like to know more about any workshops please. Kia Ora.

Mark, just talking about you and found you on the wonders of the internet.
Do get in touch and we will update you on Bennett family sagas and life in general.
Two Fats is still sorely missed in Glasgow.
love Annaxx

Awesome- an inspirational woman and storyteller. Not just for Maori women, either, but for women/mothers/grandmothers everywhere!
