Zara Potts

ZARA POTTS is a former network television journalist, specialising in murder stories and entertainment. Which makes her a little bit like Phil Spector. She has worked variously as a producer, reporter and publicist as well as contributing to major newspapers and other media outlets in New Zealand. Alongside her television work, Zara has also been involved in radio and film. She also, weirdly, has been a judge for the NZ Music Awards. Zara currently manages communications and PR for one of NZ's leading educational institutes, as well as working on her first novel. She lives in Auckland with a bionic dog.
