WELCOME TO MARJOBOOKS
Long-time friends for over forty years Maureen and Joan have always had an abiding interest in a healthy lifestyle.
On reaching their sixties they discovered that media ideas about being an older woman were very different from their own experience and so their first book "Sixty, Strong and Sexy - Women Share their Secrets" was born.
Now in their seventies, they are as enthusiastic about debunking the myths of aging as ever. After interviewing women in Australia and New Zealand their second book "Glimpses: Into the lives of Positively Aging Women" was created.
At the same time as these joint ventures were developing Joan has been researching sexuality and in 2014 published her book "Peace and Harmony: Re-envisioning Sexuality Education".
Maureen and Joan delight in presenting fun and informative 'Author Talks' and discussions.

Behind the Label: The Naked Truth, is a lighthearted look at fashion. It exposes the way clothes affect our lives. This happens both personally as we use our clothes for fun, power and subjugation, and environmentally as our clothes daily contribute to the destruction of our planet. Clothing is one of the biggest polluters in the world. Every 10 minutes in NSW alone we dump 6,000kg of used clothing to landfill.
Behind the Label: The Naked Truth takes you on an eye-opening, high speed journey from the past into the future.
What is this clothing world about? What is behind the label?
Behind the Label: The Naked Truth asks: Do clothes really make us happy, confident, powerful? Or is it something else? Are clothes needed when being kind? When comforting a child at 3.00am? While making love? Or do they hide our fear? Do clothes kill our creativity as we comply with culture, tradition and fashion?
Behind the Label: The Naked Truth is both timely and right on target. This book helps us rethink our connection to clothing and its relationship to the planet.
