Tangiwai

Peter Greminger

Shortly before his stay in New Zealand ended, and his first novel PAKEHA (Strangers in Aotearoa) was published, Peter Greminger was captivated by a story about an event that had this country on the far side of the world dramatically shaken. It was therefore only a matter of time for his second novel TANGIWAI (Weeping Waters) to be realised.
Peter Greminger travelled and was working in south-east-Asian countries for most of his life. New Zealand was a new experience for him, thanks to his wife Marlis. With the start of retirement he suddenly had time to look at the world more carefully and put his thoughts on paper. At that time he did not realise that the subject 'New Zealand' was not at the end of his authoring and that he would write another two novels: PAUA (Earshell) and KAHURANGI (Greenstone).
