FROM BOOK ONE TO...WELL...INFINITY...
Writing has always been my go to therapy session since as young as I can remember - poems, musings, short stories, articles, research papers, fiction & non-fiction.
When I was going through one of the most trying times in my life (and I've had many!) - a battle to conceive - my husband and I first decided to keep things quiet, but that didn't work for a soul writer like myself. So after 2 years of dealing with the ups and downs of fertility treatments, drug, moods, operations and miscarriage in isolation, I broke out and made our life public in 2015, with my infertility blog, entitled, Where's My Stork?. I documented all my raw emotions - good and bad - our medical diagnosis and prognosis, our inner thoughts, our failures, disappointments, jealousies, hopes and dreams. I wrote and I wrote following my heart and before long, I had picked up blog followers of all kinds. Some were going through the same fertility struggles as we were, some were going through completely different life struggles but could still relate to the real emotions and others were simply inspired by my story and those of the other ladies who I interviewed on my blog.
It's now January 2021 and to date I have self-published 5 books on Amazon. A romance under a pseudonym, a travel guide for expats and 3 books on my fertility research and experiences. My first fertility book, IVF A Detailed Guide is still going as strong as it did from the day it was first published in 2016. It has continually been a best seller. It is available in electronic format globally and also paperback and audio in a few major countries. It has been number 1 many times over in many categories and countries and has remained in the top 100 books rating since being published.
My Second fertility book, My Ukrainian Surrogacy Journey, which I published in 2018 is about our surrogacy experience in Kyiv, Ukraine where our now 3.5 year old twin boys were born.
My 3rd fertility book, The Highs & Lows of My Infertility is a collection of all my blog posts from the start of my extremely popular, old Where's My Stork? blog site, put together in diary format. Knowing that I was eventually going to close that site down as my life took new turns, I wanted to keep my very personal and emotional journey together for memories and a keepsake for my miracle boys. I published this in honour of their second birthday in 2019.
I am halfway through my next book and have plans to self-publish it before the end of 2020. The next one won't have a fertility theme, but will be just as inspiring, informative and with feel-good vibes.
I have many more books within my head, some mapped out on my laptop waiting. Their completion and publishing date will be determined by how life rolls. This new simple website is an example of how I choose to live my life these days - simple but meaningful.
Welcome & Enjoy.
