At a time when working from home is becoming the norm, we hear from bestselling authors Nalini Singh and Steff Green and their familiarity with working solo, often in domestic environments. New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is a romance, thriller and paranormal author whose books have gained a dedicated international fanbase. Steff Green self-published her way to success with her fantastical, gothic novels. They speak with award-winning author Cassie Hart (Kāi Tahu) on the impact the success of their books has had on their lives as New Zealand authors with large international audiences.

He kohunga kōrero anō tēnei nā ētehi o ngā kaituhi rongonui o te ao. Ko te ao ināianei, he nui te noho taratahi, he nui te noho motu, erangi anō kua waia kē te hunga kaituhi ki tērā ao.

Nalini Singh

Aotearoa / New Zealand

Nalini Singh was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. She spent three years living and working in Japan, and travelling around Asia before returning to New Zealand - although she's always plotting new trips. She has worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher, not necessarily in that order. Some people might call that inconsistency, but she calls it grist for the writer's mill.
