Heff: - "Mr Heff is the name I am most known by. That, or just Heff Short & friendly. When I was a school principal and art teacher the students always called me that name rather than Mr Heffernan.From my studio on the water's edge on the Firth of Thames, New Zealand I write and illustrate my children's stories. Picture and chapter books.They have been lying in a box for oodles of years, neglected while I was a school principal, dad, holiday camp, and restaurant owner.Just recently Kathy my wife and good friend Bruce said, "Come on Heff, for goodness' sake publish those stories before you shuffle off the planet. You are running out of time." So, I opened the box, and out flew about a zillion moths. The stories were still there singing songs and having barbeques.Hope you enjoy my stories as they have a unique whimsical wackiness about them and lots of Heff Humour - hopefully causing readers to smile and have a wee chuckle or two."
