What an incredible experience the Ages of Pages Book Festival in Hamilton was this May.
Being among so many passionate readers, fellow authors, and book lovers of all ages was a genuine reminder of why storytelling matters. The energy at the festival was warm, enthusiastic, and wonderfully bookish — exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes the writing journey worthwhile.
It was a privilege to connect with readers who are already fans of the books, and equally exciting to introduce new readers to the worlds I've created — from the high-stakes eco-thrillers to the colourful pages of the children's picture books. Conversations at events like these are irreplaceable; hearing directly what resonates with readers is something no algorithm can replicate.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by, picked up a copy, asked a question, or simply shared a moment over a shared love of books. You are the reason these stories exist.
