March is New Zealand Book month.. and there are LOTs of things going on to celebrate NZ authors and NZ readers; but one of the things that surprises most people is the number of great New Zealand authors writing in the Fangtastic genres, from Romance to Fantasy, so we thought we’d start putting together a list to help you out a little, but I think we need a little more help!
Who’s your favourite NZ author?
Which favourite NZ authors who write Romance -> Fantasy have we missed?
(Surely Nalini Singh isn’t the only Kiwi author writing steaming paranormal romance?!) Share with us!
New Zealand authors are taking over the world, but are they known in New Zealand?
I’m not going to list ALL the titles of the authors, but if you click on their name it will take you to a list of the ones we have listed on Fangbooks. It’s not exhaustive, and I will try to continue to update it over the month (with your help). Happy Reading!
