Hello and welcome to my website

My fifth novel, A Sandwich Short of a Picnic, was published in April 2008.

It’s a sequel to Split Time, following the very fast footsteps of Penny Rushmore as she careers from one mini-crisis to the next. Penny belongs to the Sandwich Generation — sandwiched between a career, demanding kids, an equally demanding partner and elderly parents. But her delicate balancing act has just been thrown a couple of curveballs and is in serious danger of toppling over.

I have to confess, Penny is just a little bit like me – like her, I run a busy PR consultancy while trying to keep tabs on my husband, two children, a greedy spaniel, and an elderly (but spritely) mother, not to mention those unwanted kilos. But there the resemblance ends, I’m pleased to say.

This is what Warwick Roger (know for his generally tough reviews) had to say about it in the April issue of North and South:
"I must confess I read it in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it."

My first three novels were a mix of historical fiction and present-day cliffhangers. They sold well and got good reviews so of course I’m hoping you’ll like A Sandwich Short of a Picnic too.

Here are some of the comments reviewers made about Split Time:

The Press, April 2005: "Price's breezy style, wry humour and honest portrayal of a modern woman's lot will make this a popular choice for a reader looking for more than a formulaic chick lit."

The Dom Post, April 2005: "Chick lit meets feminism ...and the result is an appealing, readable novel with soul and a social conscience."

NZ Herald, April 2005: "The pace is lively, the dialogue peppy, the story eminently readable ... light, entertaining and satisfying."

I’ve also written the best-selling biography Dare to Dream – the John Britten Story, and a history of Lane Walker Rudkin to commemorate its 100th anniversary. From time to time, I write for North and South magazine. Click here to read some of my articles, including two about the amputee climber Mark Inglis.

When I’m not writing, I work as a public relations consultant for a range for companies and organisations in the South Island of New Zealand, I serve voluntarily on a number of boards. You can find out more about my PR work by visiting the Price Rennie website www.pricerennie.co.nz

I hope you enjoy browsing the website and finding out more about my books and my other writing, including an article about the trials and tribulations of getting published. Have a good read!
