Decades of working as a GP has provided Greg Judkins with a wealth of health and wellbeing issues to draw on to create characters for his novel, Biopsies - stories of struggle and hope in South Auckland.
It tells of people facing a range of difficulties, whether it be coping with social isolation, disability, or imminent death.
Dr Judkins has been working in general practice in the suburb of Clendon for 37 years. In addition to his busy day job, he is a writer of poetry, short stories and fiction.
