A Word From the Author

As the Christchurch Books NZ Then and Now Series author, I have many cherished memories of living and working in Christchurch for all of my life. 

After emerging safely from the CBD on 22 February 2011, I vowed to document the city’s rebuild. Volume 4 is my sixth book on Christchurch! 

I also mentor authors and non-writers through the book publishing and marketing process. I have developed the Writing Diamonds Publishing System™ and these guides are available at Keswin Academy.

I’m available to speak to groups, or help you release your trapped books as part of your legacy. You can learn more about me by clicking the button below send me a message via our contact page..

A beautiful book taking you on a surreal journey.

Review on Christchurch Then and Now Volume 1

The photographs say more than what words ever could. Great book, Deb Donnell. You captured the changes so well and so tastefully. Thank you 🙂

Penny - Good Reads Community Review

Review on Christchurch Then and Now Volume 1

It’s really good the way the before, during, and after photos all line up from the same angles. It is really brilliant to highlight how we have, or haven’t, progressed. The book is a great photographic history and look at moving forward.

Sue White, The Breeze

Review on Christchurch Then and Now Volume 3

This is a great record of how volunteers give up their time, leave their families and work, and then put themselves in potential harm to help other people.
