Anthony Lapwood is a Wellington-based writer, originally from Tauranga. As a reader and as a writer, he has a passion for short fiction, and is fascinated by the endlessly varied ways that stories can reflect and play with our sense of the world. He’s currently working on a collection of interlinked short stories in a mix of genres — from historical fiction to sci-fi, horror, and more, including a little bit of realism. He writes fiction for the sheer love of it, and for money he helps organisations to create and publish content online and in print.
