Ooh La La! A French Romp
Just finished reading your book – loved it and had lots of giggles. You spin a great yarn.
Kristie Kellahan – Freelance Travel Writer, Sydney.
(Ooh La La!) has the most wonderful mix of comical stories, delicious descriptions of the food, wonderful word paintings of the sights and sounds and all mixed in with a really useful travel guide.
Nathanel Cooper, Entertainment Reporter, Sunshine Coast Daily.
Her quirky book titles grab people’s attention but it’s her witty sense of style that keeps them reading.

“The book appears full of warm, joyful experiences.’’
Australian Bookseller & Publisher
The Last Book About Italy
“she knows how to have a good time and her follow up to Not Another Book About Italy is full of food ,fun and witty observation, all accomplished at a cracking pace as the Noosa-based traveller and her stoic husband, Geoffrey, cover Italy for the last time (perhaps).”
Susan Kurosawa - The Australian
“Highly entertaining, fast moving…delivered with trademark honesty and lots of Australian cheek.’’
Australian Women’s Weekly.
Not Another Book About Italy
“The author tours Italy, writing about the place and the food with love…with Aussie humour that is never philistine.’’

’’Ann’s humour certainly strikes a chord with all. For anyone who loves Italy, this book will definitely grab your heart and start shouting in your ears “come back, come back.’’ Sunshine Coast Daily.
“I loved your book, I feel as though I know you.’’
Peter Goers - ABC Adelaide.

“…she does write humorously about the people, the hotels, the shoes and the Vespas.’’

“Good fun…’’
The Australian
Not Another Greek Salad
“…the Greek Islands and their laid-back lifestyle sound gorgeous in this entertaining travelogue by an irreverent Aussie author…’’
Australian Women’s Weekly
You’ve kept me up till the wee hours for the last two nights … outrageous!! I have to tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed – Not Another Greek Salad –more than anything I’ve read in years. Your depth of perception and enviable ability to enjoy the moment is quite staggering.
Glyn May – Travel Writer
Ann’s witty observations of Greeks and their way of life …had me laughing out loud. I had the feeling I was reading my best friend’s diary.
Vicki Morrison – Noosa Magazine.
A warning should be issued with this book: “”Reading this may induce spontaneous outbursts of laughter. ‘Following on from the success of not Another Book About Italy, the author will have you in stitches as she and Geoffrey go in search of “remote’’ Greek islands and lesbians!’’
Nikki Parkinson – Revive Magazine.
