The New Zealand Woman’s Weekly has been a treasured and popular women’s magazine for more than 90 years. It was a delight to be able to talk more about The Missing Piece and Kiwi women with ADHD within its pages this week.

A big thanks to the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly and writer Nicky Pellegrino for raising awareness of my new book.

I do not love having my photo taken at the best of times, let alone to accompany an article, but I must applaud photographer Sacha Kahaki for making me feel so at ease. I haven’t giggled so much in a photoshoot for many, many years!
