Dive into a hilarious memoir about life, love and moving to a new country
Summerlandish:
Do As I Say, Not As I Did
“Summer Land is Gen Y’s answer to Bill Bryson.”
She’s an inveterate outlier who drags you in from the cold and wraps you in a great warm blanket of Summer lovin’. With an eye for the absurd, an ear for language and a nose for poop (actual poop, not bullpoop), Summer welcomes you into her hilarious world of cross cultural misadventure. With her cherry-chapsticked all-American cheerleader charm, she will steal your heart and open your mind to life’s strange but true potential. After all, she is the only Jew in Mudgee.

Summerlandish:
Do As I Say, Not As I Did
A hilarious and not-so-serious memoir about how funny girl, Summer Land, raised her ovaries in middle class America before falling in love and moving to Australia with her coal-mining husband. Summerlandish is all the hard-won, scar-leaving, tattoo-regretting, butthole-tearing lessons Summer has learned over the years – “summer-ised” here in all their glamorously gory detail, so you don’t have to bother with learning them yourselves. And, surprisingly, she seems to know quite a bit about love, life and awkward moments involving too much caffeine and/or lack of restraint.

Meet Summer
Hi, I’m Summer Land – author, blogger, “mum” & one time nude model for a very uncomfortable figure drawing class. I live with my family in Mudgee, NSW and if I’m not writing, I’m usually drinking wine and watching documentaries on Netflix. I can also be found crossing the Pacific with my husband and kids to visit our family and friends in my hometown of Gainesville, Florida. This may sound wanky, but I write about my life. I like to look back and find the humour in all the awkward mishaps that inevitably follow every major life decision I make. I love to make people laugh, but my favourite thing is when people say, #omgmetoo!
