Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand

Erin Palmisano is a dual NZ and US citizen. She grew up reading books and has always wanted to write stories. She started writing while she was travelling the world, and her passions have merged in these novels, where food, wine and travel come together with a hint of magic. Erin's debut novel, The Secrets of the Little Greek Taverna, was a No. 1 New Zealand fiction bestseller. Erin and her chef partner live in Nelson, New Zealand, where they own and operate three restaurants.
