Confessions of Love

By |2023-05-17T11:12:02+12:00May 17th, 2023|Confessions of Love, News Updates|

I wrote, Confessions of Love, while overseas at the end of last year.

My husband said I should call it, “What Your Lovers Told Me,” and in hindsight, I think his advice was more catchy and true to the content.

Struggling with intermittent WI-FI along with the interruptions of traveling, eating and drinking, meant I didn’t advertise or promote this book air […]

By |2023-02-22T13:48:06+13:00February 22nd, 2023|Coming Soon, Excerpt Work in Progress, Foster Mother, News Letter, News Updates, Valentina|

Learning new things and reworking the core part of an author business is critical these days.

Yesterday I spent three amazing hours with publishing book consultant and author extraordinaire, Kirsten McKenzie. It was an eye-opening session and reinforces the much repeated concept that you don’t know what you don’t know. It turns out I hardly know a thing.

She discussed my […]
