After the tree-sitting
"Green Expectations” is set in New Zealand in the late 1990s following a well-known tree-sitting campaign by conservationists that, after three decades of protest, ended the unsustainable logging of indigenous forest.
As the author, I promise readers an authentic experience given my knowledge of environmental management and familiarity with conservation NGOs. I was Deputy Director of National Parks and Reserves in the former Department of Lands and Survey and, in several roles, a one time employee of the Department of Conservation.
The colourful story unfolds in Auckland, Wellington and the Horowhenua. It is in the Horowhenua backcountry that I have created Mathews Bush on Maungakaramea, a fictitious place much-loved by some of the characters in the book.
Pre-release readers say there is something in the book for everyone but especially the environmentalist and the mystery-thriller aficionado.
The book has a sequel in "Green Machinations" That book led a judge in the 23rd Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards (2015) to say: "I hope this author will reach many readers with this work."
