Hi 

It was wonderful to be on stage in Alnwick to launch Write That Book. And it was made extra special because of a magic ingredient... YOU!

Teaching people to write and publish thier book has been my passion for the last 3 years. 

But I'd been stuck on Zoom; on Saturday I was unleashed and it was brilliant.

It felt like the grand finale of an epic adventure.

I must have had 200 hugs and signed the same amount of books. I smiled all weekend. 

I know many travelled from far and wide - from Cornwall to Cork,  London to Loch Lomond and even from Georgia, USA! It was amazing to meet you in person.

Hearing a theater full of people shouting 'Write Shite!' will stay with me for ever 🤣. 

Steve's Special Surprise

Steve Kelly sent me the best surprise on Sunday morning.

He'd spent Saturday afternoon chatting to people and recording their thoughts. You can see the wonderful video he created (and the other videos including 'Love a Pug') here.

I was extremely touched by the lovely messages and needed a few tissues afterwards 🥲 - happy tears. 

A BIG Thank You 

I wanted to say thank you to a few special people who worked their magic behind the scenes and make everything run like clockwork. I couldn't do what I do without their help.
