Scotty too hottie and me. I met my husband at the "Winchester" Karaoke Bar in Lower Hutt, it was literally LOVE at first sight.

My favourite food is pumpkin, spinach and cauliflower boiled and mashed with sour cream

I own four pairs of sneakers, average prices $8 each, two pairs of jandals (flip flops) and a pair of slippers my daughter bought me for christmas.

I am obessed with the interior design of tiny spaces...

I love the sea although I am terrified of it since seeing jaws when I was a kid, although I made myself swim in it but only with my husband. I always stay on the shore side from him reasoning that if there is a great white shark Scotty will go first...he knows this and still loves me.

The first movie that scared the crap outta me was "Hush Hush sweet Charlotte with Bette David and Olivia DeHavilland, and the song still creeps me the hell out *shudder*

My first full on crush was 'Scott' from the Thunderbirds - it took me a long looooooong time to figure out he was a puppet.

When I was pregnant with my eldest daughter Megan I was addicted to Pixi caramal bars.

My son Nathan was breach and when he was born his feet came out in the taxi on the way to the hospital.

When I was pregnant with Jenna-Rose I ate Watties Baked Beans, apple sauce and pork sausages for almost every meal.

My childhood nickname is bullet, not because I was especially fast but I was bald until I was about three.

I was once a dolly bird back up singer in a band and was on TV, I hope to hell that Video tape has been completely destroyed, but I did look hot.

A perfect moment.

Posted by Olivia Giles on Friday, August 26, 2016,

I had a perfect moment yesterday.

A pinnacle of a moment.

A moment I never really thought Id have - ever.

But I did, but instead of trying to hold on to that moment
I am going to write it down and then let it go.

This is about Creative Process and how it works for me, and how it shaped my first ever novel
"Heart of the Tapu Stone"

As probably everyone in this country, and quite a few countries around the world know, Lawrence Makoare is an actor and a carver.
He's been in a lot of movi...

The smug bitch essay...

Posted by Olivia Giles on Saturday, August 20, 2016,

There is a rule that people stick too and I should stick to but I don’t, about being a smug bitch and the curse that is attached to it.
But I’m not scared of the ‘smug bitch’ curse. I don’t believe in it. I’ve broken it way too many times to take it seriously.

I love my (I know, I know, I know, I won't shut up about it) husband and he loves me.
On the 29th of August 2016 it will be fifteen years since the day we met. Our meeting was amazing because it was in the stars. The ...

Me and my tarzan outfit.

I've never watched a full episode of sex in the city because...

I don't watch tv as I know it will be addictive if I started
Big is a complete and utter arse-hole
I know a lot of woman who do actually have that life.
I never got the shoe fixation

So I watch it in you tube bites which is much better, you get the whole the friend/bitch/ship and you don't have to put up with Carrie's needy shit and Miranda's bitchiness. I loved Samantha and Charlotte, Aiden, Steve, Anthony an...

I HAVE FINISHED THE BOOK ...YEY!!!!!!!!

Posted by Olivia Giles on Sunday, August 7, 2016,

Me and the most important part of my writing process
"Scotty too Hotty" Andrew Giles, my husband and the chief lolly buyer, bill payer
enthusiasm encourage-er and cup of tea maker

The End....well not really, finishing a book doesn't end until the thing is on the book shelf, you, the author open it randomly and find a fecking typo...get depressed and go to bed for six months with ice cream and 'Darling Buds of May' videos.

It's been a long time coming, and now I think the book is finished, of cou...
