Writers Abroad Canadian, Wendy Williams, has been married to an Austrian for 13 years and lives in Vienna. Her new book is published on her wedding anniversary, 13th November. In this interview we discover how she created a new term to apply to those in a multicultural marriage - GloLo - and how Williams cleverly chose to include the wisdom of intercultural and relationship experts in order to ensure her book was well-researched and had the authority it needed. This is a book, rather like Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, in that it is written to be used and enjoyed by real people and not by academics. It is also very, very funny.
