Hello Ms. O'Gorman. My name is Susan Mouw and I am also an author. I have been contacted by someone who is offering services of book promotion and when I asked about other authors they have helped, she gave me your name. Can you please verify that Nancy Hall has done promotional work for you and are you pleased with the results? I appreciate your time this response. Susan Mouw roadtothecross.org, samouw@gmail.com

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Siân O'Gorman Life's What You Make It is all about community, and finding your place in the world... and your home. We all appreciate our homes more than ever - if we're lucky enough to have one. I thought it would be nice to set a book where I live and tell the story of Olivia who comes home to Sandycove, in Dublin, and finds the community she longs for, right where she left it.
