Published...

It has been a long journey but today, for the first time, I held my book in my hand.




It feels like an age since I first posted about it here on my blog.





You may remember seeing the photo used on the cover, here.





No2 wants me to sign his copy. Sweet.





I have to confess to becoming overwhelmed with emotion when I opened the package from the courier.




Should you know someone who you think would benefit from reading it, you can find it here. It is a little earlier than anticipated, so I'm sure you won't have to wait until 1st June for despatch.

We are having a launch celebration next Friday at Helen and Douglas House. I have new shoes and an appointment at the hairdresser. It's not every day that something quite so exciting happens.

  16. I somehow missed this post. Not to late to congratulate you though. I am sure the book will be immensely valuable to many bereaved parents. My brother and sister in law lost their first child, such a sad, sad time.

    Which all boils down to just the biggest 'Well done' :D

  18. Hi. I have just found your blog. Looks like a good read.

    Congratulations on the publication of your book and for having the strength to share. We lost our eldest son, aged 8,to meningococcal septicemia in 2010 and are still struggling to cope. I hope to read your book soon.

    Thanks.
