NZ Herald Canvas 08/10/2023. Finding Frank: Niece’s heartfelt tribute to one of New Zealand’s true hunting legends, Frank Erceg.

This two-page feature was the first published article on Finding Frank. I was interviewed by Angela Barnett, sister of Shaun Barnett, a passionate supporter of the Frank Erceg Project. In 2013, I shared the stage with Shaun at Going West Books & Writers Festival. The ‘Going Bush’ panel also included Chris Maclean and Rob Brown. In conversation about some of the extraordinary but little-known characters, we talked of the people and places that have shaped New Zealand’s sense of who we are as a rigorous and resourceful people. Enjoy reading it as I reflect on aspects of the book, its process, and the journey writing it. Photos by Dave Osmers.
