‘Everyone has a book in them, but in most cases that’s where it should stay’?
I really hope that's not the case with me.
One year has flashes past and it dose not seem possible that my first book was released a year ago. i have to thank the help of my great friend Susan Keefe the children's author and her husband. Being dyslexic at times is a real pain and she really helped me get things together.
Well it's know been out there a year and at the time I said I would not write another book on being a help host. In the last year, more has happened and you never know, there may be an edited version or extended one lol. Some of the things that happen are just so funny at times and I just have to share them.
I do however write a daily update to family and close friends. I have done this for many many years. like most tell them whats going on in life. The good, bad and some times plane funny or bizarre.
This is why one of my dearest and long time friends said Karen you should really get things together and write a book. So when she died two years ago, that's what I set out to do and how the hole thing came about, from the update.
As such that's the easy part. The putting it together and then trying to sell it is the hard part. Although it has sold fairly well I will never become rich from it. After everyone has taken there cut you are left with less then a €1 a book.
But the sense of achievement and the real joy of holding the hard copy in my hands has been really worth it.
I have also had phone interviews and a couple of magazine articles, all of which helped sales and I loved the attention and the excitement of it all. Who would not.
I am sure I will go on to write more and find the hole process of writing very therapeutic as such and at times real fun to do. It's a real way of getting things out of your system. Having a good rant at times and no one getting hurt in the process. We all need an outlet as they say.
With this years batch of helpers arriving and the life we have had, I am very sure more books will eventually make there way out there. I continue to write each day even if just a small amount and am overjoyed that I have been nominated for a writers award considering things.
