So I am getting ready to make Christmas Day a very special
one for my loved ones, when a letter drops through the letter box from my
publishers. Opening it, I have this fear that they are going to tell me my book
isn’t good enough after all and it won’t be published! NO! Reading it, the fear
turns to overwhelming joy when it is, in fact my provisional publication date of
the 23rd January 2014, just over a month away.
Even writing this I have goose bumps and finally, I can
actually believe that I am a writer, an Author. I have beaten all the adversity
in my life, illness and most of all the lack of self belief that has plagued me
for so much of my life. Finally, all the hard work has paid off and what makes
it even more special is that my two precious boys are so excited and have told
me how proud they are of me, which may seem trivial to some people but to me it
means EVERYTHING.
Today is an incredibly special day for me and my family. All
the adversity we have been through is behind us and led us to the place we are
at now. Today signifies the future and 2014 promises to be such a memorable
year. I am living proof that with hard work and determination you can achieve
whatever it is you want. You just have to go out and get it.
I would like to personally thank my Mum, Dad, my sister
Lisa, my two very good friends Julie and Jo for all your support this year. You
have all kept me going when the self-doubt crept back in. Most of all I want to
thank my two boys who, quite simply, light up my life.
I hope
everyone has a brilliant Christmas and a very successful 2014.
The launch party
date will follow….
