From Pavlova to Pork Pies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780473369354)

Vicki Jeffels has lived in four countries, both hemispheres and has travelled around the world only to end up back where she started, in Auckland, New Zealand. She lives by the sea with her husband and youngest daughter, a crazy Lab puppy and two smart alec cats, and is visited frequently by her two adult children - most often when they need a good feed and a good yak. Vicki has been writing commercially for over 27 years and has worked in Digital Marketing and PR for a number of well known global brands in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom. She has also worked in advertising, as a radio copywriter, and as a freelance writer. Starting her blog in 2007 was her introduction into writing 'proper', telling stories about people, not things. The blog has been very successful over the years, amassed a large following and received a number of awards for its entertaining storytelling about recycled families and expat family life. Vicki has a droll sense of humour and loves travel, chocolate, food, and wine. Preferably, all at once! From Pavlova to Pork Pies is the first novel she's written and published and she is currently working on her second novel.
