\"\"<\/a>Over the past two months, I have been running a post \u201cmini-series\u201d titled \u201cHere\u2019s SpecFicNZ-Christchurch\u201d<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> in which my fellow SpecFicNZ<\/a>-Christchurch authors introduced themselves using a series of\u00a0 common headings:
\n.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Who:<\/strong> a short, first person introduction to the writer
\nHere\u2019s Why:<\/strong> the writer writes speculative fiction
\nHere\u2019s What:<\/strong> an example of the writer\u2019s work
\nHere\u2019s Where:<\/strong> you<\/em> can find out more about the writer and their work<\/p>\n

By way of a reminder for those of you who may not be familiar with the New Zealand speculative fiction\/SFF scene, SpecFicNZ is the \u201d national association for creators, writers and editors of speculative fiction in or from New Zealand\u201d<\/em> and we have a lively local group here in Christchurch\u2014so much so that I thought some of my blog readers might enjoy \u201c\u2018meeting\u201d the members.<\/p>\n

So over the past seven weeks I have been delighted to feature:<\/p>\n

April 24: Elizabeth Gatens<\/a><\/p>\n

May 1: Kevin Berry<\/a><\/p>\n

May 8: AJ Fitzwater<\/a><\/p>\n

May 15: Cat Langford<\/a><\/p>\n

May 22: Beaulah Pragg<\/a><\/p>\n

May 29: Gareth Renowden<\/a><\/p>\n

June 5: Tim Stead<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0 hope you also enjoyed the series—and in the spirit of “Here’s Where”, if you have not done so already, then please do check out the speculative fiction these authors are creating.<\/p>\n
