Dramatic landscapes of Marlborough Sounds and Nelson inspire author

For Robyn Prokop, publishing her first novel was the logical culmination of years of reading fantasy, making up stories for her children and teaching teenagers.

Her debut novel, Taelstone, is a young adult (YA) fantasy and the first in the Stones of the Azuri series.

She is currently finalising the second book, Heartstone, for publication.

Prokop will be talking about both books at the Nelson Arts Festival on Saturday October 24. Mandy Hager will chair this session, Writing Young Adult Fiction, which will also feature Brin Murray and Rachael Craw.
