Woohoo...welcome to the Family...PGB

Enjoy, elation and every other happy thought, Paul Buchannan accepted my offer to adopt him, the privilege I feel is overwhelming.

" Thanks Mae:

That is very sweet of you, and I am flattered. Since I am divorced/single with grown-up kids in the US, it is nice to know that I have been "adopted" by someone here in NZ. And Maori to boot! (my first girlfriend here was Maori, it was a great introduction to the culture for a recently arrived foreigner).

Anyway, I am the better for it.

I hope to be able to continue to write in a way that meets your expectations."


I should have posted this a few days back but I was side tracked with other more pressing matters, school holidays, children at home causing distractions and mayhem, oh the joys of being a mother.

I digress once more, so let me introduce you to a writer I have come to greatly respect and admire as I am sure you will also:
