Leamington and long-time Tokoroa GP Fred Simpson is known to many as their family doctor, but outside medicine he is just as passionate about writing - both poetry and prose.

The book is being launched on Thursday, February 25 at Paper Plus in Cambridge and will be available for purchase from March 1.
