Marlborough Writers

Three members of the group have been very productive lately:

Mike Ponder has published his third book of the trilogy--For Queen and Empire—and Dot said it is his best one. Mike generously gave each of us a copy to read, so thanks Mike.

David Miller has finished his book about the Boer War--Under the Southern Cross — and it is ready for publication. Both shared coincidentally meeting strangers who were able to help them with a few historical facts for their books.
​
Dot Scott has amended and finished her second book about the West Coast settlements, which will be sent to Copy Centre, Nelson.
