    When I was still in NZ I knew the author of this article, Nalani Singh, only as “that Kiwi who wrote all those angel books that never circulate” - so I found it kind of weird (but good!) to see Madness of Sunshine become a hotly anticipated release with 60-person wait lists here in the Midwestern US.

    I wish this article was a little less self-promotional on her part - who are those other Kiwi writers who sat in a cafe with her and discussed the possibility of an NZ Noir genre? What about other books that could be in this budding genre, like Michael Bennett’s Better the Blood, or the majority of Paul Cleave’s bibliography? A discussion for a later time, I suppose.
