Danielle Hawkins has written five bestselling novels, including Chocolate Cake for Breakfast and When It All Turned to Custard, and the bestselling memoir, Two Shakes of a Lamb Tail. She lives on a sheep and beef farm near ?torohanga with her husband and two children. She works part-time as a large animal vet and writes when the kids are at school and she's not farming. She is a keen gardener, an intermittently keen cook and an avid reader.
'Her writing is consistently warm and engaging, and even when dealing with some heavy issues, she has a lovely light touch. For any reader after a feel-good but tender read with a big heart, I'd highly recommend Take Two.' - Karen McMillan, NZ Booklovers
