A funny and sensitive memoir about growing up on the semi-rural outskirts of Brisbane in the 1960s and 1970s, and living and working in the Queensland Outback. From there, to the opposite end of the spectrum and to urban Japan. Hilarious things happen when the assumptions we make are wrong. Come with Susan on this crazy journey and expect plenty of belly laughs. With short anecdotal chapters, it is the ideal commuting or bedtime read, and perfect for book clubs. With few or no phrasal verbs, it is also a great book for readers for whom English is a second language.

Keyssecker, Jessie: - Born in Brisbane in 1961, eldest of three children born to a police officer and a stay-at-home mum (they were called home makers back then). The author attended primary school at Serviceton and high school at Corinda. She studied Japanese from the age of twelve with the goal of teaching English in Japan. After working in the Queensland Outback, she taught English as part of her work over five years in Japan. She eventually returned to Brisbane and put herself through university as a mature-aged-student. Her career spanned a very diverse range of occupations including executive secretary, copy writer and office manager for a Japanese language newspaper, head waitress in a Japanese restaurant, and treatment scheduling clerk for cancer patients. Jessie is now retired and lives in Brisbane with a rescue cat named Thomas. Her hobbies, apart from writing, include pastel and watercolour painting.
