THIS AUTHOR HAS LANDED You can’t tell that The Tui has Landed is Jodie Shelley’s first novel. Packed with hilarity, disastrous dates, terrible pick-up lines, all cleverly wrapped up in a grittier plot, one can safely say that Jodie has safely landed on the creative firmament of Kiwi fiction writers. FARIDA MASTER talks to the local author to find out what really went behind the covers of an engaging tale of friendship, problem-gambling and revenge.
