Ephemera – in 1997 I won the FFANZ Award, which allowed me to travel to Australia for the National SF Convention in Canberra – Capcon. Winners were expected to fund-raise on their return, and as part of that I produced a chapbook of my animal tales (Animal Daze and -) combined with a cartoon series I sometimes did for SF club magazines, (- Rabbit’s Progress.) The chapbook had gray card covers, tan pages, and copies were signed, and numbered 1-100. It sold out and was never reprinted although I retain several copies.

Articles in Dannevirke News(paper):
Most appeared as ‘once only, this paper only’ Rare occasions this is not so, or where the article may be reprinted freely are indicated. Most are consumer articles on saving costs. This is a slush pile system, where I write when I have time and an idea, articles of mine are then used when there is space, (after early 2012 this was invariably in the separate Dannevirke News Saturday Supplement as distinct from Dannevirke News pages in the main Hawkes Bay Today)
