About Me:

I was born in England, had my 3 girls in New Zealand, and I have been living in Australia for over 40 years, and now have 15 grandchildren and 1 great granddaughter.

I was a hairdresser by trade for 20 years and held various cooking positions for catteries. I worked for a couple of printing companies before Bob started our business, so I wasn’t a complete novice. I love to read books and garden, but the garden takes up most of my hobby time. We have 33 fruit trees on our 600m square block, and they take a bit of looking after.

About Work:

I retired to look after my granddaughter who belongs to Chrisstie, one of our designers, so when she had her baby the powers that be decided Chris was more important than me, so I took care of her baby and have a great bond with this child.

I have come back now and help a little feeding machines or cutting books, whatever is needed. I still loved to be involved and keep in touch. We have great staff and were hoping to step back a little in the future, but don’t think we will ever retire.

I can't recommend InHouse Publishing highly enough. This was my first experience self-publishing and after lots of... research I decided to go with them. I'm extremely thankful I did as they were very reasonably priced and the product they produced was excellent quality. They were very responsiveness to all my questions, nothing was too much trouble and the process was thoroughly explained. They assisted me through every step of the process and I will definitely use them again should I decide to self-publish another book.read more

I cannot recommend this publisher enough. Each team member is attentive, responsive and professional in their approach ... towards their authors. I felt nurtured during the process and no task or request was ever too hard for the team. I have no hesitation in endorsing InHouse Publishing to other authors.read more

My gratitude to the InHouse Publishing team on the excellent workon my self-help book in my series titled, "Navigating... Grief."My appointments with Nevada were extremely informative and very helpful in framing what "InHouse," has to offer. Supported and guided by the friendly team from editing through to illustrations and the printing of the book. On receiving the printed copies, I can only comment that they have performed an excellent result in all areas. I highly recommend using this friendly and professional family-run business.

I engaged in-house publishing to deliver my second book the little book of Human. From the first conversation to the... delivery of the product I was incredibly impressed with the care that the entire team showed towards me and in particular their willingness to understand the human behind the book. The way the process moved seamlessly from one department to the next tells me that this is a team who cares for each other, and in turn this is felt by me the customer. With book three now into concept stage I know I’ll be giving in-house publishing a call once the manuscript is done. You won’t go wrong if you engage them.read more
