\"\"<\/a>At the end of last year I hosted a guest posts series titled “Here’s SpecFicNZ Wellington”<\/a>, in which fellow SpecFicNZ<\/a> members based in Wellington introduced themselves using a series of\u00a0 common headings:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Who:<\/strong> a short, first person introduction to the member
\nHere\u2019s Why:<\/strong> the member writes or works in speculative fiction
\nHere\u2019s What:<\/strong> an example of the member\u2019s work
\nHere\u2019s Where:<\/strong> you<\/em> can find out more about the writer and their work\u2014and I really hope you will!<\/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> I thought some of my blog readers might enjoy \u201c\u2018meeting\u201d more of the members, following on from the popular “Christchurch”<\/a> series earlier in 2013.<\/p>\n

Christmas, New Year & summer holidays all intervened after the final feature on December 19, but to wrap up now, the Wellington writers I had the great pleasure of featuring were (in chronological order from the first posted, until the last):<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Heritage<\/a><\/p>\n

Sally McLennan<\/a><\/p>\n

Eileen Mueller<\/a><\/p>\n

Richard Parry<\/a><\/p>\n

Dan Rabarts<\/a><\/p>\n

Jonathan James Todd<\/a><\/p>\n

Darusha Wehm<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u00a0 hope you also enjoyed the series\u2014and in the spirit of \u201cHere\u2019s Where\u201d, if you have not done so already, then please do check out the work these SpecFicNZ-ers are creating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
