About Keith Tonkin

For a number of years now I've been a part time teacher and writer..I have had previously published 16 titles for the education market in both fiction and non-fiction aimed at the year 6,7,8,9,10 area. (Capital Letters and Giltedge Publishers)I have a particular interest in New Zealand themes and especially our history. My four fiction titles are historical fiction for children "The Big Snow" "The Longest Journey" "Te Pou Kara" and "Te Tupuna Maunga o Parihaka"As of June 2014 I have a new title published by CP Books of Nelson. At 38,000 words this is a much longer story titled " 'Avaiki Tautau..Homeland Beneath the Stars" is based on a lot of research here and in the Cook Islands and is about a voyage to Aotearoa ('Avaiki Tautau) 8-900 years ago seen through the eyes of a boy.I'm a bit passionate about this subject because it is our first story and because the why and the how is not well understood by New Zealanders compared to the knowledge in the Cook Islands. I also believe that the skill of those ancient navigators is worthy of respect and should be a source of pride to all of us, directly descended or not.All my latest news etc is on this site.keithtonkin.wordpress.com
