Dennis Pennefather-Local author

Some locals like the direct and cheeky style of Dennis Pennefather and others consider him somewhat of an upstart, be it standing for the mayoralty and council or 'At the throat' letters to editors.

Be you 'for' or 'agin' him, there is no denying that his works as a books author are fast being recognised.

His first two books, 'Constable' and 'Sergeant' are in the process of being combined into one volume to be titled, 'New Zealand Policeman' as the originals received excellent reviews.

The most recent of his works are: 'An Almost Understanding' (fiction) of which Graeme CASS for HB Today said;
"Leaves you with an after-burn you will want to share with a friend."

Dame Fiona KIDMAN (Current Creative NZ Writers' Fellowship holder) said,
"Certainly packs some punches and touches several new spots in the emotions"

Dennis" latest effort, 'The Understanding' was also hailed by Graeme CASS for HB Today, as:
"Clever sci-fi tale, a first-class effort" He favourably compairs it to Wyndham's 'Midwich Cuckoos' & Huxley's "Brave New World' Check out Limited Edition Books
