About this title.
Fate weaves its tricky threads amongst the garment of intrigue and mystery shrouding Miri, a beautiful young Maori woman. Her attempt to materialise her childhood obsession and fantasy to be other than she is, only serves to create a mantle of despair to hover over her life. Her choices, and her mistakes, impact upon her children’s lives as well at those she unwittingly influences. These adults are confronted by their own personal weaknesses, and they are given cause to examine their religious and spiritual beliefs, their family relationships, as well as the cultural expectations, bigotry and prejudice accepted as the norm within pre and post World War II New Zealand society.

About this Author.
From November 1992, when her active life was suddenly and dramatically curtailed by the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, besides continuing her career as Director of a Tertiary Education Organisation, she undertook her own research into the causes of auto-immune disease.
From her findings she wrote and published The Rheumatoid Triangle: The Complaint-The Cause-The Cure. This book has sold world-wide and has been endorsed by Henry Scammel - Author of The Arthritis Breakthrough based on the research and practice of Dr Thomas Brown in the USA. As well, by Auckland GP Dr Richard Coleman, who is familiar with the antibiotic protocol Dr Brown records as being so highly successful.
It is Faye's contention that taking care to eat only nutritious foods is conducive to maintaining as well as aiding the return to health no matter the cause of one's demise. Her second book second book Intricious: Inspiring-Nutritious-Delicious contains a host of interesting information plus over 80 of Faye's recipes that contain only healing ingredients. Conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart health, and cancer are addressed, with suggested natural foods, herbs and spices.
Faye's third book for health Rheumatoid Remedies: Natural Therapies to Heal is the culmination of her years of research. It contains all manner of recommended "cures" for trial by the reader, and includes information on herbs and plants-nature's original antioxidants and antibiotics.
In 2011, Faye took the time to write and publish the novel that has played in her head for over 30 years. For a Fee of Two Shillings is an international winner of a Pinnacle Book Achievement Award from the USA. The story, set in a fictitious Taranaki coastal village is woven around a group of characters of hugely varied backgrounds-in particular a young Maori women who is obsessed with being accepted by the white congregation of the church. It brings to light the attitudes and underlying racial bigotry of pre and post WWII New Zealand society.
