Eva Melusine Thieme
Biography
EVA MELUSINE THIEME was born in Tübingen, Germany, where she studied business at a university too difficult to pronounce before moving to the United States with her then-boyfriend, a suitcase, and a bicycle to earn her MBA from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Together with her now-husband she has since moved between three different continents, adding more baggage as well as children along the way, while juggling motherhood and a growing passion to write.
Her first travel memoir, "Kilimanjaro Diaries: Or, How I Spent a Week Dreaming of Toilets, Drinking Crappy Water, and Making Bad Jokes While Having the Time of My Life" was published on March 26, 2014. She is also the author of the popular blog "Joburg Expat" chronicling her family's expat life in Johannesburg, South Africa, and she has written a series of parenting articles for Kansas City Parent Magazine, including "Do 30 extra points really pay off on the SAT? – Discusses college admissions requirements, prep courses, and how to help your child prepare for the SAT and ACT tests," which won a Parenting Publications of America silver award for Investigative Reporting in 2009.
Her other accomplishments include having survived three years in the world’s most dangerous place, or so some people say, having finally gotten a grasp on the difference between just now and now now as an expression of South African time, having once understood (but woefully since forgotten) how to utilize layers in Photoshop, having written a series of parenting articles for Kansas City Parent Magazine in which she dispenses all the wonderful advice on rearing children she’s never been able to follow herself, and generally still being alive and sane with three full-fledged (and one aspiring) teenagers in the house.
She currently lives in Brentwood, TN, with her husband and four children.
