Ruby-Jane Ryan is a hardworking freelance journalist in Christchurch, New Zealand, who is widely traveled in her profession. She has friends who are prone to gossip, and though Ruby-Jane is fond of them, they also annoy the heck out of her. One of them is constantly trying to woo her into ascending new heights with him, preferably in his spa pool. Another stretches their friendship with his complaints as well as his problems with various unsuitable women he finds online. She finally gets moral support and love from a gorgeous Irish occupational therapist she meets during the course of her work. Ruby-Jane’s additional work as an advice columnist written by “Agony Aunt” is kept secret from her gossipy friends. It’s through her column that she’s able to exact a form of revenge on her persistently annoying pals. After all, why should she take advice when she’s the one dishing it out?

Reilly - a Dreadful, Adorable Cat

By: Amber Jo Illsley

This is the first in a series about author Amber Jo Illsleys cat, Reilly, whose full name is Seamus OReilly. A semi-fictional, illustrated story, Reilly A Dreadful, Adorable Cat centers around the cats antics and witty repartee with the author, inviting occasional interjections from the sleepy and long-suffering Katie OBrien, Reillys girlfriend. From Reillys viewpoint, the world is a fascinating place, and he views himself as the most fascinating part of it. A chauvinist to the worst degree, Reilly still manages to ingratiate himself with many of the people he comes in contact withproviding he leaves his claws sheathedbut he is more than content to make enemies of most other cats, except Katie. And even she is not exempt from Reillys bullying ways, although she does have some subtle methods of her own in getting around Reilly. Reilly is both a bully and an adorable cat, hence the name for the first in this series: Reilly A Dreadful, Adorable Cat.

Best Regards From Aunty Jane

By: Amber Jo Illsley

Ruby-Jane Ryan is a hardworking and widely travelled freelance journalist in Christchurch, New Zealand. She has friends who are prone to gossip and although Ruby-Jane is fond of them, they also annoy the heck out of her. One of them is constantly trying to woo her, without success, into ascending new spiritual heights with him, preferably in his spa pool. Another stretches their friendship with his complaints as well as his problems with various women he discovers on dating dates online. Additional work for Ruby-Jane is as an advice columnist, written by an 'agony aunt' and who is kept secret from her gossipy friends. It's through her column that she's able to exact a form of revenge on her persistently annoying pals who write to her column, not knowing she is, in fact, 'Aunty Jane'. For relaxation and a good laugh, Ruby-Jane loves to watch old movies, amusing documentaries and old, cheesy ads on TV...

Reilly – Running Full Circle

By: Amber Jo Illsley

This is the third book in the trilogy on Seamus OReilly the cats exploits. He can talk and still has plenty to say, despite growing older and seemingly more mature. But mature is a dirty word in Reillys opinion. As far as hes concerned, hes ageless. To the adorable and yet chauvinistic Reilly, the world is a fascinating place and he is the most fascinating part of it. Reilly manages to ingratiate himself with many of the people around him, provided he leaves his claws retracted. Caught in the middle of the big pussycats capers is Reillys owner, who already knows that there is no one the ornery feline is more protective of than her. In this semi-fictional story, accompanied by illustrations and poetry, Reilly continues with his carefree adventures, entertaining antics, and witty repartee, initially with girlfriend Katie and later on with his new girlfriend, Chloe Arabella, and his owner.

Unconditional Rose 2

By: Amber Jo Illsley

A selection of 101 poems in this illustrated collection take you through the varying dimensions of the spiritual realm, cat antics, the blues, legends, rediscovering friendship, tongue-in-cheek humor, nostalgia, and tributes to important people. I have known Amber Jo Illsley for many years. I am a very prosaic kind of writer, but we need a poet of Ambers talents to bring to our attention the wonders of our environment. Her book of poetry will bring to life for you a very wide range of topics, from humor to spiritual in nature, being expressed in her own distinctive way for your enjoyment (Gary Laughlin Jeffery, BSc, writer, apiarist, and animal rights supporter.)
