Happy Birthday Bev Robitai
I've since met Robitai at a few Auckland-based book events, and she's a great supporter of New Zealand writing, as well as being a talented author herself. Along with getting her own books published, she has helped other local authors get their projects into ebook and paperback form, and available on sites like Smashwords, as well as distributed to stores through independent channels.
Robitai's second book, originally entitled EYE FOR AN EYE, was released earlier this year. The tale of a woman hunting down a conman who has ruined many lives has recently been re-released with a new cover, and a new title, 22 WAYS TO GET REVENGE.
Feel free to join me in wishing Robitai a very happy birthday here on Crime Watch, or on her author Facebook page here. Or, if you feel like it, perhaps give her a present she'd really appreciate, by trying one of her books, and then leaving some feedback or a review for her - I can certainly recommend MURDER IN THE SECOND ROW as a light, fun read with a great theatrical setting.
Kelly Brook unleashes her toned legs for a glamorous night out
Two great assets: Kelly Brook unleashes her toned legs for a glamorous night out

She has become famous for her curves but last night she revealed two of her other great assets... her toned legs.
Kelly Brook decided to show off her defined pins at the launch of the Cointreau Prive pop-up bar at The Pigalle Club in Picadilly, London.
The 32-year-old model wore a black Moschino dress with a small split on the thigh to the event.

The dress, which costs £1,207, had a matching ruff waistline which she teamed with a fur gilet.
Brook, who was joined by boyfriend Thom Evans, also wore a pair of black thick heeled shoes and red lipstick.
The Piranha actress had a busy night and posted a message on Twitter that said: 'Dinner at the Arts Club, Dita Von Teese at the Pigalle followed by a Guiness in the Punchbowl! Work Hard Party Harder! Night ;).'

Eye catching: Kelly and a friend get in a taxi and head to their next destination
Her outfit was a lesson in fashion to Cheryl Cole who wore the same dress last month but with a very different result.
The axed X Factor judge - known for her fashion hits and misses - watched Girls Aloud band-mate Kimberley Walsh as she made her West End debut in Shrek The Musical.
She wore a black and white version of the dress but was unable to pull it off.

Despite Kelly's sultry outfit she was outmatched in the glamour stakes by Dita Von Teese.
The burlesque dancer performed at the launch and poured her hour-glass figure into a floor-length gown.
The 39-year-old star wore a cream dress which exposed her back and had a plunging front.
Lesson learned: Cheryl Cole, right, wore the same dress a month ago
Revealing: Dita Von Teese performed at the launch party and hosted the night
Other celebrities that attended the launch included fashion designer Sadie Frost who was dressed a little more casual than other guests.
She opted for a pair of sequined amber coloured hot-pants with a blue cardigan and red shoes.
Jasmine Guinness and Made In Chelsea's Cheska Hull and Ollie Locke also made an appearance.

The Israeli socialite was injured when partying at The Box in Soho, London, two weeks ago after a man fell on her and broke her foot.
Cointreau Privé, labelled 'London's most exclusive speakeasy', has been modelled on Dita's Los Angeles home, with themed salons and some of the star's most prized possessions.
The pop-up bar, which is strictly guest-list only, will be open for just three weeks.

Sporting a cheeky grin and using a hat to maintain her modesty, Prince Harry's ex injects some summer fun into this winter.
Following in the Middleton sisters' footsteps, 25-year-old lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce has landed the cover of Tatler's January edition.
Snapped on location in north London the blonde beauty throws a number of poses, wearing some thigh-skimming ensembles which make the most of her enviably long legs.
Following in the Middleton sisters' footsteps, 25-year-old lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce has landed the cover of Tatler's January edition, which also features an in-depth interview
Harry, 27, who is regularly featured in the society magazine, had a whirlwind romance with Florence - nicknamed Flee - earlier this year, but it came to an end after two months as the young royal reportedly didn't want to be 'tied down'.
In her first interview since the split Florence, who grew up in Fulham, south-west London, reveals that she is keen to pursue a different career as 'one day everything will drop and I won’t be able to earn my living in a bikini.'
In the shoot she swaps her standard converse and skinny jeans for some feminine designs, featuring sheer fabrics and flattering cuts, with her long blonde hair naturally styled.

Florence began her modelling career.aged 16 when she was spotted in Topshop by a scout.and has since fronted campaigns for John Lewis, Adidas and Knickerbox.
The history of art graduate has also modelled collections for British brand Anonymous by Ross+Bute and most recently Scottish knitwear brand Brora.

But it appears that her real ambition is to break Hollywood.
In 2009 she starred in Bollywood romcom Love Aaj Kal (Love These Days) as a Swiss love interest adding that it took her 'hours learning how to do to dance.'
She also starred in the TV detective drama Lewis this year where she had to lie in a morgue on a table with a silver sheet over my head.’
And in a previous interview she revealed: ‘I am moving to LA in September,’ adding ‘I am really excited and hoping to audition for some movie roles.’
Florence's looks have caught the attention of many an admirer, and former flames include Formula One driver Jenson Button and Henry St George, the son of the late financier and racehorse magnate Edward St George.
However it was her short-loved fling with Prince Harry that really thrust her into the spotlight.
But maybe Harry should be thankful that the relationship came to an end as Florence divulges her bizarre sleeping habits.
'I have the most terrible sleep Tourette’s and scream at anyone there to get away from me.
'I never remember it in the morning.'
