Knocked Up Abroad Again
“I just finished “Knocked Up Abroad Again” and had the same thought as I did with the first…”No, that can’t be it, it can’t be done already!” Such a lovely follow up to the first. Many great stories of truth, feelings and openness about the reality us moms face abroad everyday. Thank you all for your work on this amazing collection. Hoping for a #3!”

Once Upon an Expat
I am delighted to be part of a “tribe of global souls who together make up this heartwarming and at times hilarious anthology”.
This is a read for all those who wonder what life is like when you take the daring step and transplant your life to another country.

“Being an expat myself, I appreciated both the humorous and heartfelt writings in this book. Sometimes tongue in cheek and often touching, this book is a must read for expats who feel like strangers in a strange land – or like they’ve found a new home. You will enjoy this book!’

Dutched Up! (Rocking the Clogs Expat Style)
“With its tall buildings and tulip-lined canals, the Netherlands is a wonderful place to visit. But what happens when you move there instead?” Read this book and find out!

“As soon as I purchased this book, I read it all in one sitting. The writing from the group of women who contributed felt like I was sitting down with a group of girlfriends who had already paved the way and were imparting there knowledge onto this newbie. It is honest, it made me laugh and at times made me feel quite raw due to my already climbing nerves of my impending move. On the flip side, it did actually calm some nerves as well!”

Long Hat is a Hero

Long Hat is a Hero is an example of my translation work. The book has been translated from the popular Dutch series Langmuts, especially written with highly sensitive children in mind.
“I’m so grateful to have a book about high sensitivity to read to my 6yo HS child! THANK YOU to all the team involved in bringing this book to print. The story is sweet, funny, accessible and encouraging, and is a helpful story about tolerance for all children. My child was still chuckling about the story the next day, and immediately wanted to read it to his younger brother. Definitely recommend for any family with highly sensitive children, and for all Early Years settings!”
