…says hi! Welcome to my blog. My name’s Cushla Managh and I’m a journalist, writer and now communications person in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. I spend my spare time studying creative writing, working on various writing projects, and reading books. Lots of lovely books! My tastes are pretty eclectic – I enjoy low-brow stuff alongside really good literature. It’s about finding a book that best fits the mood, and for me that varies. Sometimes I’ll develop a crush on a particular author and read everything they’ve ever blurted onto a page. If I’ve done some heavy work-related reading during the day I tend to prefer something light at night: a bit of space opera, a police procedural, etc. I particularly like SF, contemporary poetry, and non-fiction stories about people who have climbed Mt Everest and survived various extreme environments. I have a soft spot for websites featuring medieval cooking and I don’t mind a heart-thumping romance novel on occasion. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of so-called chick lit or self-help books – but anything else is fair game!
Anyway, welcome to my blog – and I’d love to hear from you.
