@tarajhannon I’ve just published a middle grade fantasy if you’re interested in mermaids and a girl who can communicate with dolphins, with environmental themes: https://t.co/LCnfy310Gf

@Philebuster @1goodtern They ran the same story in New Zealand tonight 😔

We ask the general public to stay away from heavily affected west coast areas, such as Piha, Muriwai, Karekare, Te Henga (Bethells Beach) and parts of the Waitakere Ranges. (3/4)

225,000 people lost power and 2,500 were displaced from their homes after Cyclone Gabrielle caused flooding, landslides, and ocean swells in New Zealand. NZ PM Chris Hipkins called it the nation’s ‘most severe weather event this century.’

@flaxroots Thinking of you all. Arohanui

[Kate S Richards @KateSRichards1]

So sad about the devastation cyclone Gabrielle caused on our country. My heart goes out to everyone in our motu affected. Kia kaha.

[Kate S Richards @KateSRichards1]

I so hope and pray this cyclone bears off to the east. Stay safe guys. #CycloneGabrielle

@adribbleofink I’m a school librarian first and writer second. Writing doesn’t pay the bills but it’s made the last 5 years so interesting and fulfilling!
