Happy new year!

So, another decade is drawing to a close and I'm poised to enter my late 40's. This time 10 years ago, I was wondering how I'd feel about that. I was fast approaching the 'it's time to take my writing seriously' birthday and had no idea what the future had in store.

Looking at this glorious pic, I don't think I've fared too badly, do you? The Cherry Tree Cafe was published in 2015 and well, you know the rest. There are 2 more titles coming in 2020 taking the grand total to 11! 11 books written and published in 6 short years!

I'm not sharing this to brag or say 'look what I've done', I'm putting it out there as a gentle reminder to say that you can do it too! If there's something you want, then go for it. If there's a dream you have, then commit to making it your reality.

I can promise you that there's nothing special or clever about me. I'm not gifted, talented, tall or rich. I'm just an ordinary middle aged Mum of 2 but I've worked hard, grasped the nettle and managed to achieve my goal. Whatever you want to do in this new decade, then please just get on with it. Ignore the self doubt and the fear, screw your courage to the sticking place and you'll make it happen.

Much love to you all and thank you so, so much for your wonderful support.
