I am pleased to announce my new book called Letters from My Dead Sister.
The book is about my relationship with my older sister, who struggled her whole life with bipolar depression and substance abuse. She was also smart, funny, creative, and beautiful. As a child growing up, I had no awareness of of any diagnosis or mental health labels. Having a sister with bi-polar manic depression was my version of normal. When she turned into a totally out of control wild teen, nobody tried to explain it to me as unusual. Now, looking back and reflecting on her life and our relationship, I understand how unique she was. Her highs and lows permeated my life and then later, as adults, we grew apart. Finding a collection of her old letters has allowed me to piece the puzzle back together. I have been able to look back at our relationship with fresh eyes, older more patient eyes for sure, to gain a better understanding of how her mental health impacted our lives.
For anyone having a family member with mental health challenges, this book is for you.

My second book has just been released. It's a humorous autobiographical account of my husband and I transitioning from working life and elder care into retirement, when we suddenly looked at each other in disbelief. This book will be relatable to anyone with a sense of humor who is approaching retirement. It gives a very real summary of what each step is like, both emotionally and practically. Please use the following links if you wish purchase.
My first novel was released in January 28, 2021 . This is the second edition release Sept. 28, 2023.
( links below). Here is the back cover blurb:
This is a tale of trials and tribulations of lifelong friendship. Two girls meet when Susan’s family moved into the road where Nadia lived. The two youngsters hit it off straight away and became an inseparable force to be reckoned with, not least on the school playground. The story begins by reminiscing about their school days and childhoods; imaginative games at the shopping centre, writing books together, re-enacting comedy sketches. They danced to music and swooned over popstars. They drifted apart slightly when they joined different social groups, but they remained friends throughout their teenage years experiencing all the things typical teenagers go through. When they turned eighteen, they went their separate ways – Nadia to university, Susan quickly moved out after deciding that staying at home was too boring. Life moved on and the girls grew up and started doing ‘adult things’: moving in with long-term partners, working full-time, getting married and having children. But as everyone knows, adult life is not always smooth sailing.
