Morning coffee and a good read? Might have to check this out. 20k copies is heaps for NZ.
Bloody well done! More Kiwi authors need this kind of success. Sick of seeing the same overseas stars dominate the shelves.
facts, I'd still rather read a self-published wattpad story tbh
20k copies is 'a lot'? Lol try telling that to JK Rowling. But yeah good on her I guess.
that's a dumb take, 20k is legit for a small market like ours
Wait wait wait... Rotorua? Isn't that where the smelly lake is? Maybe the book is about a vengeful sulfur spirit 😂

lol smelly lake book sounds better than a thriller tbh
Actually impressive for a debut. Might give it a read, always keen to support local talent.
Anyone actually read it? The blurb looks interesting but I'm skeptical.
yeah nah get stuffed, it's still a big deal for a debut. let people celebrate
20k sales and they call it 'writer to watch'? Ffs our media has zero standards. She probably bought half of them herself.
mate you're chatting shit. show some respect for a local author grinding it out
Honestly who even reads print anymore? But good for her, I guess. More power to local businesses.
Just bought a copy for my mum - she loves this genre. Hope it's actually good and not just hyped.
