It's vital there are avenues for discussion of these issues without censorship. We scanned the blogs in response to earlier blogs and found it fascinating. You are a NZ author with a highly respected international reputation and we know your books are loved in Germany and Korea as well as the English speaking world. We know many other popular and widely published authors who also face this dilemma- so please keep the korero [discussion] flowing - kia kaha-arohanui- Cath Dunsford and Karin Meissenburg Kia ora Beryl- We run a publishing consultancy/translation agency and could not agree more with your comments today based on thirty years of working with writers and also being authors ourselves.
