📚 My Amazon Author Page Is Finally Live!
After many emails, more patience than I expected, and what felt like forever… my official Amazon Author Page is finally live! 🎉
It took time to get approved, but we made it — and I’m so excited to finally share this little corner of the internet with you.
🌍 One Author, Four Languages
My author bio is now available in four languages — because writing for a global audience means meeting readers where they are:
Portuguese (my native language 🇧🇷)
English (my main working language 🌎)
Spanish (for the incredible Latinx readers 🇪🇸)
French (because I live in Switzerland — and love the sound of words 🇫🇷)
This multilingual presence isn’t just a detail. It reflects the life I live — and the themes I write about: motherhood abroad, identity, adaptation, and belonging.

📘 What You’ll Find on My Page:
On my Amazon Author Page, you can:
✅ Follow my releases (like Maternity Abroad)
✅ Read multilingual bios and book summaries
✅ Add the page to your favorites for updates
✅ Leave reviews — which really help indie authors like me!
💬 Why It Matters
Having an official author page on Amazon is symbolic. It’s more than just a link — it’s a home for my books, a bridge to new readers, and a milestone in this journey of publishing stories for those living between cultures.

What does it really mean to be a “good parent” when you’re raising your child in another country? In my latest post, I share how even a simple day at the playground in Switzerland revealed how culture shapes love, care, and parenting — and why I believe love always has an accent.
I hit a wall with social media. The constant pressure to post and scroll left me drained, so I’ve decided to step back. I’ll be here, on my blog — writing honestly, without the noise.
Under a rainy London bridge, Emily admits what she's never dared say aloud: maybe love just isn't for her. But Daniel - her best friend's older brother who keeps showing up on her daily coffee runs - isn't convinced. As the rain falls and secrets slip out, Emily begins to wonder if love doesn't always arrive in fireworks... sometimes, it shows up fifteen minutes at a time.

I finally figured out why social media started to feel so heavy: AI everywhere. I use it too, but lately it’s been drowning out my own voice. Here’s how I’m choosing less polish and more presence, because I don’t want to just post, I want to connect.
