A successful book launch for my children's book, Mystery at Dead Man's Ridge, by Mandy Edwards (me!) and a little taste of my poetry book, Come and Get Me ... by Amanda Edwards (also me!)  I was delighted to launch my books in Turangi, the town of my teenage childhood, where I enjoyed all kinds of outdoor experiences; kayaking the Tongariro River; tramping the Tongariro Crossing, climbing Mt Ngaruahoe, abseiling and rock climbing at Motuoapa. In this photo is my young illustrator, Amelia Hamilton, and her mother, Maree ... a great school friend of mine from Tongariro High School, in Turangi.

I have had a marvelous response from all those people who have read, Mystery at Dead Man's Ridge, adults and children alike, which gives me encouragement to perhaps extend my characters' adventures in the future. My poetry book, Come and Get Me, has also been received well; touching a chord in people's hearts, especially those who have experienced their own spiritual journeys ... and still travelling, as I am. It is wonderful to make connections with people through my stories and poems.

If you are interested in purchasing either of my books you can visit Amazon.com for my
Mystery at Dead Man's Ridge ebook; or I can send you the printed version, including all of Amelia's beautiful illustrations. ($19.95 NZ plus postage and packaging).  The poetry book can be found at: http://www.amazon.com/Come-Get-Me-Amanda-Edwards/dp/131202495X or  lulu.com.
