After he left in early January 1643, Tasman’s New Zealand became a ragged line on the world map. Tasman named the place we now call Golden Bay ‘Moordenaers’ (Murderers’) Bay. His only encounter with Māori ended badly, with four of his crew killed and Māori fired upon in retaliation. ![]() ![]() Abel Tasman was the first of the European explorers known to have reached New Zealand, in December 1642. First contactsīy the time the first Europeans arrived, Māori had settled the land, every corner of which came within the interest and influence of a tribal (iwi) or sub-tribal (hapū) grouping. This broad survey of New Zealand’s ‘long 19th century’ begins with the arrival of James Cook in 1769 and concludes in 1914, when New Zealand answered the call to arms for ‘King and Country’. In the period between the first European landings and the First World War, New Zealand was transformed from an exclusively Māori world into one in which Pākehā dominated numerically, politically, socially and economically. ![]()

This is not done out of malice, but is simply a magpie-like tendency Andolians have however, it does nothing to endear them to normal people, who simply view it as theft. They are obsessed with shiny objects, and will pick up anything that catches their attention and keep it. There are many things about Andolians that confuse normal people, but the primary reason they are disliked is that they are almost indistinguishable from normal humans, apart from their black eyes, and a set of instincts that sends them running from storms. Like many creatures of magic, Andolians are disliked.

It is like they regressed mentally in the past year since "Slammed" and now function only as pissy children. I mean over 45,000 ratings and a 4.40 average GR rating? I must be losing my mind?

I didn’t know how, but it seemed to me that there was a metaphor in here that was going to work with the story I was trying to tell. One morning I woke up thinking about wolves: how they seem to function as a family how the group is more important than the whole. But what about the father himself – the man whose life was hanging in the balance? I knew right away that one of the characters involved in the decision would be a prodigal son with a secret in his past and that his sister would be the more faithful child…who was too young to have a legal say in the decision. So I called that neurologist and said… “Remember me?” Luckily, he did! That led me to wonder what would happen if two children were fighting over whether or not to terminate life support for their parent. I said, “I’m not ready to write this book now, but one day I will be, so remember my name…because I’ll come calling!” Eventually, years later, I started mulling over the fact that although we often hear about parents and spouses who differ in their opinions about life sustaining care for a victim of a serious brain trauma, we rarely hear about two parties who have an equal claim to that decision. ![]() I was sitting next to a neurologist who dealt with these sorts of issues all the time. ![]() I first thought about writing about the right to die when I was on a plane over a decade ago. ![]() |
