About Me

I was educated in England, thank goodness, as spilling and grammar (tee hee) are quite important in this industry. I love to read books on natural health and self-healing, and people’s journeys through cancer and other debilitating illnesses.

I love to garden and grow our food as much as possible, which is a great way to connect to yourself and other power sources. I’m also an enthusiastic cook and love to try new things. Bob and I like to travel when we can and wish Australia was like Europe, where dogs can go anywhere with you – buses, planes, hotels, restaurants, etc.

I have fifteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild. They are a great source of pleasure and entertainment. Family is a huge part of our life at work and at home.

About Work

I no longer work in the factory but like to keep my hand in where I can. Part of my job was quality control and I still visit most days to keep an eye on things. I love the fact that the boss has let me semi-retire and I also love that we have great staff and things run just as well without me. I still play an active role as consultant, and bucket-of-ice-water-chucker when ‘he who must be obeyed’ gets a little excited. Popping Bob back down to earth occasionally is my duty!

It’s great that my kids and their kids work for us, so it will always be a family business.

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
