About the author
“After I came back, a coworker heard some of my Japan stories and encouraged me to write them down.”
What comes next
The first eight books are only part of my story. Books 9 and 10 are already written, and Book 11 will tell the story of my return to Canada after 25 years in Japan — including the challenges I faced as I started a new chapter of my life. Readers I met at book signings encouraged me to share that experience.
