Anna’s F-Plan went on a Bookstagram Tour earlier this month.
I was delighted with the wonderful reviews it received!
Thank you to my publishers, Cranthorpe Millner for organising this book tour and a huge thank you to all the lovely bookstagrammers who took part!
About the same time that I started writing Anna’s F-Plan I started my ‘Peaks, Polaroids and Prosecco’ challenge. So a peak, a polaroid and Prosecco was the perfect way for me to celebrate my Publication Day.
I was so excited as I stood at the foot of the very first mountain I had climbed in the Mournes.
We set off on the short climb to the top.
Two years ago, I had huffed and puffed, staggered and stumbled my way to the summit and today was no different!
There had been too few peaks as I was preparing for publication. My lungs, legs and muscles were all suffering as a result of too much time spent sitting on my bottom editing but I bravely battled on, until finally I reached the top!
Where gale force winds were blowing.
I wanted my book to fly off the shelves, not off a mountain!
It was October 25th. I had climbed a peak, taken a Polaroid and popped the Prosecco to celebrate the publication of my book.
It was the perfect day!
Writing a book is like climbing a small mountain. It is tough, challenging. It takes time and a great deal of effort. When you finally make it to the top, all you want to do is plant a flag, rest your weary bones on the nearest available boulder and pop the Prosecco!
Unfortunately, that is when you find out that writing your book was just like making it to base camp. You still had Everest to climb!
A naive, newbie novelist, I was about to set off on the next stage of my author’s journey on the path to publication.
