The Bay of Plenty near Opotiki |
Opotiki is my old home town, where I spent the first seventeen years of my life. It’s small and little-known, even within New Zealand. It’s also the real-life inspiration for the fictional town of Ruatane, a setting in my books.
I paid a return visit to my home town a few years ago. Memories and photographs from that visit: Ruatane in Real Life

Dropped by for A-Z challenge. I love discovering all these different blogs I would never have found if not for the challenge. Keep up the good work. 🙂

It is beautiful. After living in So. Cal. all my life, I think I’d like to spend some time in a little known place.

Hi Jenn, nice to see you! I also think Opotiki’s beautiful, though I admit to being a little biased. 🙂 It’s certainly given me lots of inspiration over the years.
