Erla-Mari Diedericks is the author of Sin, Sushi & Survial - a memoir published by Zebra Press/Random House Publishers. This racy and shocking memoir about abuse and single life after divorce has been described as one hell of a roller-coaster ride - it plunges into the dark depths of physical abuse only to take you on the hilarious high of dating sites, younger men and sex clubs - ending with an unusual love story. The author is 43 years old, holds various degrees and lives in South Africa with her lover, her son and five cats. She has 19 years experience in journalism and spends her time writing short stories, editing and writing medical websites and blogs, cooking and gaining weight. She is extremely successful in the latter. Erla-Mari Diedericks is actively involved in charity work, especially that involving helping abused women and children. She helps in a soup kitchen for underprivileged school children and also has a blog, Sin, Sushi & Survival as well as a Facebook page where she talks honestly and openly about her abuse and creates a forum for other women to vent their feelings and be heard.
