Welcome.

I'm Kris. I'm a journalist and storyteller. My first book, Saving Wānanga, was published in October 2024 by Potton & Burton with stunning watercolour imagery by Diine the Fox.

For a limited time, I'm selling books and puppets here to raise money to support the amazing work of Kea Conservation and the South Island Wildlife Hospital, who feature in this true story of a kea rescue.

Spot the Dot will be released internationally in June! Pre-sales are available now.
