Finally!!!
Well the day has come... yes it's here... OMG...
The book is officially launched!!! WHOOHOO, I can't tell you how excited I am, not to mention stressed!!! I've been working my butt off to make this happen and to make sure everyone knows about it.
There have been a few melt downs along the way, but after all, I'm only human... haha.
But it was a massive learning curve and a period of growth also. After my first book, I never really thought I was an author. I mean, yes I had 'written' a book with a (pardon the pun) ghost writer... and yes I edited that book and injected my personality it to it. But I didn't sit down and type the words completely.
When I went to events and people were calling me an author I didn't feel it. However I was... I know so many people write using a ghost writer but to me, I wanted to put the hard work, pain and sweat into it... oh boy, do you get what you ask for!
I have to believe that I could do it. I have to start to believe that I was an author... I have to really believe in myself. That wasn't easy. I know I love to blog and I write from the heart and I call it brain dumping, but it was more than this... I had to challenge my slightly dyslexic brain and tap away at the keys. And I did it... I believed in the fact that I could do it.
It started off with brain dumping, and that was it... I was on a roll. With help from my friends who kept me off FaceBook and questioned every part of the book, and others who persevered with me through my mood swings, unsocial behavior, the book started to take shape... and before I knew it I was 70, 000 words in... and not even complete.
Whoohoo I was writing a book...but the the side of me that doubted myself kicked in when I was told I needed an editor... Ugh... I felt a failure. But again that belief system kicked in and that was it... I started to research and discovered that even some of the most famous authors have them...
So that was it... I was back... I met with my fabulous editor Nancy and the ball was rolling. She corrected grammar and so many other things and I couldn't believe it when it was done... It was almost painless!! haha
But what it showed me is that you can do anything you want, when you put your mind to it, and you start to believe in yourself. But most importantly you start to see yourself as the person that everyone else sees. For me, I had to see myself as an author! Just as before, when I had to see myself as a medium.
So now I am proud to say that I am an author... and it feels great!
So with this book I've tried to keep it simple, and lighthearted. But how can you do that when you are talking about, what happens when we die... well quite simple... its love.
Love is around us everywhere, the book is written with love, its about love and life, and what is apparent in the book is that even in the afterlife, its all about love.
So love who you are, be proud of who you are and start to believe in yourself and know that you can do anything that you put your mind too!
Happy reading to those who have bought it already, and to those who haven't... what are you waiting for??

Sending love to you all and thank you for believing in me and supporting my journey, I couldn't do it with out you!!!!
Hugs and much love
