The stars came out in Wellington (OK, the wind came out in Wellington) for a couple of press photoshoots to promote the new anthology Lost in the Museum, edited by A.J. Ponder on behalf of Phoenix Writers, which includes my story “The Big Baby”. The full story of the photoshoot, plus the pics themselves, are over on Eileen Mueller’s site (note: a pop-up window will appear when you access the site – once you’ve responded to this, you can see the articles & photos). Apparently the “squinty, windblown” look is de rigeur for high-end fashion photography in 2014 – at least, the Dominion Post photographer insisted we stand in the wind and look into the sun!
Lost in the Museum is a fun collection of linked stories set in New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa.
You can buy a copy of Lost in the Museum:
- As a Kindle ebook from Amazon
- From bookstores including The Children’s Bookstore in Kilbirnie, Unity Books, and Marsden Books in Karori (Wellington) and Retrospace (Auckland). The ISBN is 978-0-473-28320-9, which will help you to order it from other bookshops.
You were lucky to have such a nice day, considering Wellington's weather.
The problem here is that the solar wind blows so strong it messes with your hair.
