Local Author writes another book Janice McMurdo has written her fourth book, “The Druids’ Daughter.” Set somewhere in England in the late 1880’s, this story is about a young woman with extraordinary powers of energy healing. She encounters difficulties when people become suspicious of her powers and she is faced with hostility from those who believe she might be a witch.
Janice’s first three books, The Bird’s Nest, Wait for the Tide and The House Down the Hill all involve the South Head Peninsula and the Kaipara Harbour. This is the place where she was brought up and it is very dear to her. “The House down the Hill”, is about an Auckland drug boss trying to set up a meth operation at South Head – with some amusing aspects.
The Birds’ Nest and Wait for the Tide have a magical or spiritual element, which she has taken to another level in The Druids’ Daughter.
All Janice’s books are available at Paper Plus in Helensville, at Food for Thought, 72 Commercial Road, and at the local Library.
