My memoir, Loveyoubye, is due to be released by She Writes Press on April 8, 2014!
Not a good rendition of the cover, it really doesn’t do it justice.
And here’s Sweetpea, the dog in the story, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier, love of my life and a major player.
WHAT THE STORY’S ABOUT
Loveyoubye describes the beginning of the end of my twenty-five-year marriage and my healing journey home to South Africa to help my younger brother who has special needs. It is a story of life transitions, parallels, and journeys. It is also a love story for my dog Sweetpea, and reveals the unbreakable bond between humans and their pets, along with the grief of losing them. It is a story of revelations; Sweetpea was a vital emotional link in my dysfunctional marriage. With her letting go, I was able to as well.

The book sounds like my kind of story! Xx
It might just be!!
I am so happy for you! I can only imagine the emotional roller coaster of writing this book, and to be able to share it with the world? True courage. (I have a special needs brother too.)
Roller coaster is the right word! The process of writing the book was a liberating and illuminating experience. I’ve still to find out what publishing the book will bring. Thanks for popping in.
R – heart wrenching storyline, but I am looking forward to reading. How exciting to be so close to publication.
It’s exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time. Thanks for stopping by.
