My journey to writing and self publishing

    As a child, I had a passion for writing stories, but I never considered it a feasible career after leaving school. It was many years later that I decided to pursue my dream of becoming an author. I experienced a defining moment when I thought to myself, "If not now, when?".Transitioning into a new profession demands immense time, effort, and energy, and navigating the process of turning an initial idea into a published book on the shelf is quite a challenge.  journey of an author is not for the faint-hearted; each phase presents its unique obstacles. There are traps to avoid, unexpected turns, and self-proclaimed 'experts' ready to misguide you while taking your hard-earned cash. The two books for sale on my website will help guide you and are invaluable tools in your journey to becoming an Author.  Whether it's a picture book, a novel, a business book or your own Life Story - they guide you through every stage.


    If you're prepared to set a budget, dive into the various facets of authorship, and be prepared to learn, whilst navigating the sometimes frustrating and pot-hole ridden Author Journey then you will get to hold your book in your hand and be able to call yourself an Author. And there's not many people who get to do that in life!

    Believe me when I say, it's a wonderful experience to open the box when your book is delivered and when you get to hold it for the first time - it's a truly magical, wonderful feeling!
