Guardians of the Ancestors
He has a thirst for death and power. Mako takes what he wants and crushes opposition.
She has a gift. A young healer who converses with the Ancestors. But even with the voices in her head, Marama cannot quiet the panic in her heart as the impending threat to her home looms.
The Ancestors offer deliverance, prophesying a land of abundance and sending Starman the navigator. But the decision is not easy. Marama's people must choose whether to trust the dead and leave Green Island or risk the erasure of their existence.
Journey back on the tides of this 16th-century wayfaring odyssey when the art of celestial navigation meant more than oceanic voyages, but a future weaved by the Gods.

The Future Weavers
One woman stands between her people and destruction – Marama. One man builds his legacy at all costs - Rangi. Values and worlds collide. Lured into the schemes of unknown ancestors, Marama abandons her people to save their undefended village. Claimed by Rangi, she must win favour without being dominated. Manipulated by desperate ancestors, she cannot escape and risk her children’s lives. An object of hatred, in a village that places no value on women, Marama is alone. Holding fast to her humanity while facing evil is destroying her. If Rangi prevails, lives will be lost, including her own. If she walks the path, Marama loses herself. The future is weaving apace.

Poetry in a Pohutukawa
Nothing says summer holidays like the splash of red from the Pohutukawa flower – bring it on!
That is the inspiration for the poem collection title and a few scribbles to entertain you at the beach or in the hammock this year. During the cooler months you can cosy up by the fire and enjoy some ramblings from R. de wolf. In the 2022 soup is a pinch of memoir, a teaspoon of nostalgia, a cup of giggles, a stir of thought and a dusting of opinion.
No poet laureate offerings to go with your pavlova or ham in this book. While the odd metaphor may jump out to pinch your bum while nobody’s looking, Poetry In a Pohutukawa is squarely aimed at the reader who likes to understand what they are reading.
De Wolf supplies her trademark reflections after each piece, to tell you what inspired her to write the poem, story, or prose. Like all human beings she’s sometimes happy, sad, pithy, ridiculous or pissed off. But if that doesn’t grab you – there’s also a word finder for the kids.
Musings from my Manuka
A gift of mostly poetry, a pepper of remembrance with Reggie Reflections, wrapped up with a bow. From the manipulation of cats, stuffing tradition, tributes and the intricacy of names, a chocolate box of flavoured words. Stuff yourself silly all at once for a laugh, sniff or receive affirmation you are not alone while musing in the manuka. Musings from my Manuka is R. de Wolf's third book of Reggie Reflections following in the footsteps of Poetry in a Pear Tree and Poetry in a Pohutukawa. You will not find competition-winning poems herein that will make your brain hurt, merely humble prompts and observations of life scribbled into pages. Easy to read, pop in your bag, or wrap as a gift. What are you waiting for? Enjoy!
