About The Author
Dave Addison lives at the end of a long, winding unsealed road in the hills overlooking the Kaipara Harbour.

A city boy by birth (Auckland, NZ) he moved with his wife Shona to the country in 1987 - and now wonders why they didn't do it sooner!.  They share their idyllic spot with two beautiful girls (Courtney, 10 and Nikki, 8), three cats (Zorro, Nala & Pippi) and a golden retriever called Sam (after Frodo Baggins' faithful companion Samwise Gamgee in 'The Lord of the Rings').

Author Dave Addison With a formal journalism qualification and several years' experience in newspaper reporting and then public relations, Dave formed Dash Design six years ago to provide desktop publishing services for local businesses.

Dash Design has developed into a full-time website-design company - making it very difficult for Dave to find the time to create stories such as this one!
