Knock Knock

Extraordinary stories from a lifetime spent conducting interviews. This is the world of the dreaded door-knock from the other side of the door. Trish Palmer has been working as an interviewer and area manager for market research companies for over 20 years, invited into the homes and private lives of an astonishing array of folk from every lifestyle imaginable. Her experiences on the job entail everything from bare bottoms to angry cats, the desperately struggling to the well-off, and everyone in between. There is comedy and sadness, surprises and the downright odd, from witches to boat-builders, dope growers and more. Poignant, hilarious, and always thought-provoking, this is a highly entertaining read.



Trish Palmer has had numerous short stories published, and is also a playwright, with five plays being produced around NZ in 2020 as well as in Europe. She lives in rural Nelson, where she lives off the grid and enjoys fishing and panning for gold, when she is not restoring the native bush on her property.
