Worth More Than Rubies (2007)
Worth More Than Rubies - launching September 2007 Based on the Proverbs 31 Woman

She is worth far more than rubies. What a description to live up to! And yet this is what the modern day business woman and work at home mum is worth to her family. Women today crave to return home to care for their families and use their skills to contribute to the household income and yet so many feel it eludes them.

Kathie gives women permission to return home and shares with the reader how she did exactly that, bringing up her family of 5 daughters, while establishing a new industry in her country, using skills she'd developed in the corporate world for over 20 years. She believes that women the world over can do what their ancestors did - work at home and care for the family, returning to old-fashioned values and using modern day skills.

Concern for the welfare of our children and what they are exposed to, plus escalating costs of childcare makes this book a 'must read' for all mothers who desire to be home for their families and work at home.

How to Become a Virtual Assistant ebook (2003)
When I first wanted to start working at home I didn't know how I was going to go about it. I knew what I wanted to do - work at home - but what kind of services was I going to provide, and who for? What rates should I be charging and how long would it take to complete a job? Will I really make a living working at home?

There were a million and one questions I had and no-one to ask! Well, there is in this new book now available.
