Meet the author

Shirley Komogi — Aunty Apo

Shirley Komogi, known to readers as Aunty Apo, lives in Goroka — a misty town tucked in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Her stories are stitched from real-life adventures.

When she’s not writing about slipper-obsessed dogs or street-smart cats, Aunty Apo is caring for her bees and producing her own honey under the brand Kol Ples Honey, making sure the buzz stays sweet and the sting stays poetic.
