Person
James George was born in Wellington in 1962 and now lives in Auckland but describes northland - the backdrop for much of his latest novel - as his 'spiritual home'. It is also the ancestral home of his Maori forebears; James is of Nga Puhi, English and Irish descent. Hummingbird is his second novel. James has also published several short stories, of which 'Zeta Orionis', an extract from Hummingbird won the premiere award in the 2001 Maori Literature Awards judged by Keri Hulme.
