ABOUT BEV'S BOOKS
(See full list available for purchase below)
Bev’s 14 highly regarded self-help titles including Living
with IT and Taming the Black Dog have brought
hope and relief to thousands of readers both nationally and internationally over the past twenty years.
As an established illustrator and cartoonist and previous
sufferer of severe anxiety and depression, Bev devised her unique cartoon-and-text format to convey the key steps
to recovery in a simple, immediate and demystifying way
to those in distress.
Bev also invented her cartoon ‘anxiety monster’ IT after which her books were named and which was created to portray the voice of the ‘inner critic’ common to anxiety sufferers
Far from simply decorative diversions, her cartoons are
powerful tools which, in conjunction with her simple text,
help to quickly convey meaning and provide easy-to- comprehend examples of the key steps to recovery.
This format has also been used in illustrated versions
of books by other authors to great effect, namely
Allen Carr’s Easyway to Quit Smoking and Easyway for
Women to Quit Smoking and the recently best-selling self-help title The Happiness Trap by Dr Russ Harris (Bev's illustrated version is due for release in 2013 by Exisle Publishing)
Other titles written and illustrated by Bev but which are no longer in print include her first illustrated book Purrsonalities - Life with your Cat, followed by Muttmobiles -out and about with Man's Best Friend and two mini format titles The Little Book of IT (now sold in normal format as The Book of IT) and Recovery- a journey to healing.
Bev also collaborated with Sydney psychologist Elizabeth Reiger in 1998 to create Get Over It- Beyond the Body Beautiful .
Her illustrated books of humorous reflections Paws for Thought - Animal Wisdom for your Day (from which a percentage of proceeds goes to Lort Smith Animal Hospital) and Mum's the Word are available from JoJo Publishing www.jojopublishing.com
Several of Bev's self-help titles have also been translated into foreign languages including Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Spanish (Mexico and Portugal) by publishers in these countries and HarperCollins has just announced the launch of Harper360 which will introduce Bev's books into a wider global market, including the U.S. and U.K.

ARE YOU ASKING FOR IT?
'You get what you ask for' is the main premise behind the so-called Law of Attraction materials made popular by books such as 'The Secret' in recent years. So is it true that do get what you ask for? In this latest title, Bev puts the basic principles of The Law of Attraction to the test as a new and innovative approach to anxiety management and finds that, in the main, the answer is YES! The good news is, you can learn how to stop asking for TROUBLE and learn how to ask for good things and get them instead. ASKING FOR IT is typically Bev - simple to understand, no-nonsense and practical, with a touch of humour along the way, provided by her inimitable cartoon format.
