The day has finally come when I can say that I am a published author. Friends have asked me how it feels to be a “published author”, and so far, the feelings are mixed. As always with me. The nervous excitement built up slowly over time so that now that it has actually happened, I am feeling surprisingly calm but very grateful to have made it to this point. I started this journey because of my love of stories, imagination and have been using books in my therapy sessions for years and have enjoyed books and story-telling with my own children. I always find it a wonderful and magical experience. I have always wanted to be able to point families towards resources which are specifically designed with speech and language concepts and structures in mind, so I decided to create my own. The book is officially published and available to order online via Amazon and other booksellers. I am in the process of working on promotion by planning a launch event (with cake!) and booking author visits to schools and other places and whoever will have me. I am building momentum with this project and would love to hear from readers about their experiences of using this book with children. I can’t wait to share my passion for reading together and get working on the rest of the series as well. The next book is written and waiting to begin illustration, and is called What Doing? Birthday Party featuring some new woodland friends that I can’t wait to get started on. Here’s to books, books and more books. Please check out my Demo Video to see the book in action.
