• My Father's Ears reviews

  Humbled and chuffed to be getting positive reviews from readers on the book. Like this one:
  "The very talented Karen Goa has written her first novel! I really enjoyed it - full of witticisms, delightful imagery, and a genuinely interesting story. I devoured it in a weekend. Also a steal at the kindle price. Highly recommended.'

• Down the Motu Track - East Cape, New Zealand

  Down the Motu track, part 1. Our motorbike slipped and judddered down a skinny rocky road through bush so primeval I expected a moa to crash through it at any moment. On the right the cliff fell away so steeply that if we slipped over it no one would find us for a hundred years. As we quietly congratulated ourselves on being so adventurous, a herd of senior citizen mountain bikers whizzed past, waving and smiling.
