Children’s author based in Dunedin, Aotearoa. Also interested in medical research and ultrasound (my day job!). 🇺🇦🇵🇸
This is my latest children’s book illustrated by the wonderful @adelespencil.bsky.social. Once again Fanshaw narrates the funny, rewarding, and highly skilled antics of an RNZAF squadron in the 70s to the 90s. #HenryFanshaw #75Squadron #NZAuthor #RNZAF

With @adelespencil.bsky.social and Megan Woods MP and featured character Butch Boyce at the Air Force Museum in Wigan to celebrate the launch of our picture book. Such a joy filled day.

Seen in the window of Scorpio Books’ children’s shop Telling Tales in Christchurch this evening. Only sorry the shop had already closed. With Nikki Slade Robinson

I’m not normally attracted to crime thrillers, but this was an our book club selection. It’s well written and I was compelled to read to the last page but I really didn’t enjoy the content. Very dark. I need to read something light now.

It’s book launch time! I’m
so lucky to have collaborated with illustrator Nikki Slade Robinson on this book. Come along and share in the excitement if you’re in Auckland on Sunday March 3rd.

On Christmas Day my husband introduced me to a new author (to me anyway) @emmadonoghue.bsky.social. Now I’m looking for more of her work. Great story-perfectly paced & worthy of being my first book finished in 2024. PS when I say introduced, he chose it based on the cover blurb! #LearnedByHeart

We had the best book launch for #MyAuntHonor yesterday. Thanks @adelespencil.bsky.social for hosting such a wonderful event and being totally awesome. Complete with life-size paper doll outfits from the book.
