Hello and welcome to my webpage, which is all about my International Award-Winning Sticky Pineapple book series. I have written two very special books based on my own personal, real, authentic conversations and experiences navigating IVF and infertility over many years.

I was inspired to write these books to help give a voice to infertility and to make it OK for people to talk about it with their children, family, friends, and colleagues.

The first book is a beautifully illustrated, creative, engaging, imaginary, and playful children's book that will capture the hearts and minds of children. It is called Sticky Pineapple And The Little Precious Gems: How I Came Into This World. It is based on a bedtime conversation I had with my then-five-year-old daughter Alice when she asked me how she was born.

The second book is for adults navigating the emotional and physical rollercoaster of infertility and IVF, called Sticky Pineapple And A Powerful Mind: Waiting For A Heartbeat. This book gives a raw and personal insight into the journey my husband and I navigated throughout 10 IVF cycles over more than three years to eventually have our two precious little girls Alice and Ruby.

I hope you enjoy reading my books and please write a review online to help share my books with the millions of other men and women around the world who are, or have already, navigated their own challenging infertility and IVF journey.
Thank you

Sticky Pineapple and the Little Precious Gems

How I Came Into This World

This is a children’s book explaining in an engaging, creative and imaginary way how two little girls came into the world through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). The book was inspired by a conversation between a five-year-old girl and her mum at bedtime when the former asked, “Mummy, how did I come into this world? Did I come out of your tummy?”

Sticky Pineapple and a Powerful Mind

Waiting for a Heartbeat

The infertility struggles that people experience are real and often not spoken about.

Everyone’s journey through infertility is unique and personal, yet the feelings of isolation, loneliness, grief, and silent suffering are shared among millions of men and women around the world in their quest to have a healthy baby and start a family of their very own.
