Vlady Peters came to Australia as a child. Over the years she either studied or joined clubs to help her acquire appropriate skills. This included cooking, dressmaking, soft furnishing, photography, grooming, writing, drawing, public speaking, singing, dancing to name a few.
She embodies the saying - Jack of all trades, master of none - as her interest in cooking, for example, resulted in her hoping that scientists are working on a pill which will have all the nourishment necessary to keep the body alive. So three times a day she can pop a pill without wasting time cooking and eating.
Her books are mainly non-fiction, although as a one-time member of and reader for a romance writers' club, she has written one romantic comedy just to see if she could.
Currently she is trying her hand on a more serious bit of fiction. It seems the fall of civilisation can be predicted. And just as Greece and Rome, rose and fell, so the current civilisation, according to the experts, is showing many symptoms of declining.

Planning a Wedding and a Honeymoon?
Here are three books for the two of you to plan these two great events in your life.
They will take you from the very beginning of your Wedding Day to your return from your Honeymoon and everything in between. There'll be the choosing of the right day for your Wedding Day. Creating the perfect Wedding Ceremony. Planning or attending all those pre-wedding parties. And, of course the Reception – and how to make your exit in a memorable way.
When it comes to the Honeymoon, you will learn not only how to choose the right place for your honeymoon, but how to look and feel your best by taking care of yourself.
Whether you're looking for relaxation and isolation, or activity and excitement, you'll discover many places just right for you. You might like to follow in the footsteps of many other couples – including royalties and past and present celebrities - or you might like to go somewhere where few people have been. The world is waiting for you.
But whether your celebrations will be short or long, you want to feel good with all the energy to be the best you can be. This is where food comes in. Call them aphrodisiacs, or just healthy foods, many lovers have sworn by them in the past, so check them out to see whether they could be of use to the two of you when planning the most important event in your life.
Written by a long-serving marriage celebrant, these three books are meant to help celebrants to put together and deliver the ceremonies in a professional manner.
Whether the celebrant is concentrating on wedding ceremonies, or on such ceremonies as funerals, baby-naming, commitment ceremonies and other, these books can help the celebrant to offer their clients ceremonies that can be anything from the traditional to the personal, involving many or involving few.
In these books the celebrant will find hints on how to plan, prepare and deliver a ceremony as well as many samples to include in the ceremony.
More importantly, the celebrant will learn how to treat his or her role as a celebrant in a business-like way. That is, how to attract the clients, what to learn from other celebrants, how to present themselves in the best possible way, and how to set themselves apart from other celebrants.
What is it about lovers which catches the imagination and make their stories irresistible? Is it what they did with their life as individuals. Or as a couple. Or is it how they managed to overcome obstacles to help them remain with the one they loved.
In fiction it's Romeo and Juliet and their forbidden love. In Gone with the Wind it's more a question of blind love, which reveals itself too late.
But what about historical lovers? Who are they? And what do they tell us?
In 'World's Hottest Lovers' you'll discover nine historical couples whose faithfulness to each other continue to touch us despite the many years that separate us from them.
You'll learn about their lives, the world they come from, and their stories. Some you may already know. Others you might be meeting for the first time. Whatever the case, you'll find them irresistible.
Throughout history lovers searched for those special foods that would help them be the best they could be. For Casanova, it was the oysters. To the ancient Egyptians it was seafood generally. So potent did they see seafood, that it was forbidden to the celibate priests in case they ceased being celibate.
In the Medieval times witches and wizards used pine nuts to create love potions for those who felt the need for stimulation. There was even an Arabian expert who believed that to be unstoppable in bed, all you needed to do was to eat one hundred of these little nuts before you went out into the night seeking love and you were bound to come home replete.
To inspire you this book details some 100 foods, most of which you’ll find in your local supermarket, and learn why they have been named desirable foods for the active lover.
So if you’re in the mood to test the theories for a more intense and sustaining sex-life, check out some of these ancient theories, including that of Hippocrates, father of medicine, who lived to be ninety and believed a man could be virile well into old age if he ate the right food.
When Helen gets a marriage proposal from Craig Rush whom she hardly knows, she wonders if it's some sort of a joke.
But almost immediately the joke turns sour.
Sheila, her employer and Godmother who chose her name after the world's greatest beauty – Helen of Troy - on hearing about the engagement, hits the roof. As far as she's concerned, the day she sees Helen with Craig Rush, will be the day their friendship ends.
And according to Craig's own family, Craig was not only thrown out of the family home, but his father – a well-known jeweller – cut him out of his will.
Who is this man? In the business world he is viewed as an entrepreneurial genius. Women magazines have named him the most eligible bachelor. To Helen he appears to be the soul mate she's been waiting for all her life.
Is the practical and level-headed Helen, who up to date has avoided the pitfalls of self-destructive relationships, about to make the biggest mistake of her life?
