Marolyn Diver-Dudfield is a New Zealand author, producer, narrator and documentary film maker. She is of Ngāi Tahu Māori descent with her affiliated whakapapa (tribe) connected to both Taumutu (Canterbury) and Awarua (Bluff). Diver has battled dyslexia and dyscalculia since early childhood.

Career[edit]

Originally a non-fiction author of New Zealand history, specializing in pioneer-era Southland and Otago, Diver branched out into fiction leaning more toward horror, science-fiction and supernatural. She has had her work published both traditionally and non-traditionally in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and the United States of America.

She started her writing career early, but it wasn’t until 2013 when she published her first book The Voyages Of The Clontarf which was a non-fiction account of a fateful voyage of the a immigration ship Clontarf as it bought passengers from England to New Zealand between 1858-1860. She then co-authored another ship that same year with author Belinda Lansley titles Shaw, Savill & Albion Co's Zealandia: Immigration Ship 1869-1902.

In 2014 she shifted some of her focus to film and television as she co-produced and narrated, with husband David Dudfield at the helm as director, the historical documentary Series A Moment of Your Time [1]. They followed this with For One's Country - Fallen Soldiers of the Orepuki War Memorial a year later.

She first branched into fiction in 2016 was her novella The sleepers Dance followed by her debut science-fiction novel in 2017 Magenta Rising and its sequel Sinai's Descent later that year. She then turned her attention to short story writing.

She found acclaim from her first short story The vigil in 2019 winning the Dan Davin Literary Award[2] with the story of a young teenagers open letter to her long-lost sister. Two years later she won the award again with The Fort[3], a light, yet underlining dark, story seen through the eyes of a 5-year-old child. She did a brief mentorship under Dunedin novelist and poet Diane Brown in 2019. Since then she has had three of her short stories included in short story collections.

In 2021 she directed The Last Tour Inner City Heritage Stories with Mick Hesselin [4] A full-length feature documentary of the final walking tour through the historic sections of Invercargill’s CBD before its demolition.
