My Book, Cerebral Palsy ‘A Story,’ charts my journey living with a disability I didn’t know I had. It is intuitive, insightful and universal.

My follow on book is due out in September 2021. It is a spiritual and healing book. No one has the perfect childhood, we all carry issues that spiral into bigger issues. Spiritual practices when incorporated into your daily life, can become a way of life, they can change how you see and live your life.

Spiritual practices helps you to increase your self-awareness, so that you can offer empathy and compassion to others. It is particularly helpful in the pandemic.

  1. I am very excited to see your second book in print, to help guide us through the swirling chaos of our lives and would encourage all of your readers to buy your existing book - it's a banging good read.

    1. Thank you! Yes, I hope people will pick up my Cerebral Palsy: 'A Story' Finding the Calm after the Storm Book.

      I am also really excited to see my 'spirituality and healing guide book' out in July and can't wait. I know that through Brexit and Covid, those have been particularly hard times.

      The last thing we want to do is pick up is a mind/body/spirit self-help book, but truthfully, it is in these times that we need to.

      Mental health has never been so important and my book is 'a perfect read for covid19' @Heatherboisseau @RedDoorBooks - instead we run and ignore the inevitable, until we can ignore it no more.

      It is important we take the time to tap into our emotions. When you look after your mental health, your mental health looks after you. I couldn't have achieved what I have without working on my mental health.

      If anyone is interested in buying my book, please press on the link to the 'Buy my Book' link to right of this blog, or the Amazon links at the bottom of this blog.

  2. Boy, I feel like I'm really slacking seeing as you're putting out your second book already. I'll definitely be buying a copy or 2 once it comes out.

    I gave one copy of your book to my daughter. I'm not quite sure of what her beliefs are, but I know she definitely needs a lot of healing, which this book I am sure will help her to do.

    1. Thanks Randy and thank you so much on both. It's so lovely of you and I appreciate your support.

      Truthfully, there is no start or expiration date on writing. But it is easier to continue to write once you start, what is important you let the pen roll and get your feelings and experiences down. Writing is a process, based on our life experiences.

      Growing up, it was never my intention to become a writer, or an author, all I ever wanted to know was what was wrong with me and why I had a bad left foot and a bad leg.

      The process of writing has brought me to this place with my second book. It is my spiritual and healing journey, and a guide, based on my spiritual and healing practices that work for me so I know they can work for others too.

      Having been published in a pandemic is particularly difficult and as my second book is coming out in July that book will also be published in the pandemic too.

      This is precisely the time that people need to be particularly aware of their mental and emotional health and the need to look after their wellbeing. Both of my books are absolutely perfect for these times.
