Writing and publishing a book is the most amazing process – not just for the pride it gives you as an author but for all the doors it opens as a result.
If I hadn’t written those 33 stanzas in 100 Years of Ermintrude back in 2006, I simply wouldn’t be doing what I am doing now. [...]

It’s well over a year since Sally Asling published her first book, Appreciating Angels. Since then the book has really taken off and Sally is about to publish her second fiction book. In the intervening time, she also published a non-fiction business book too to promote her property rental business !!
Here’s her tale of how she [...]

I had the great pleasure recently of interviewing new author Kuumba Nia about her book – The Circle of One.
Every so often a book comes your way that simplifies what was previously both complex and hidden to you … they are, of course, always books you wish you could have written so eloquently.
Kuumba has neatly summed [...]

Violeta and Jutka Zuggo, aka The English Sisters are a force of nature – and one to be reckoned with !!
I have never met them in person but feel like I have known them for ever – each time we speak, it’s like chatting to an old friend (or friends).
Their ability to get to the core [...]

The story about how I got a publishing deal for film director and script writer, Gerry O’Hara, within less than a month would make a good story in itself.
I was at a wedding in June 2012 and was lucky enough to sit on a table next to Gerry. It turned out he’d written three books already [...]

Those that know me, know that I like working quickly and love getting quick results. What has transpired this week working with author and photographer, Asha Patel, has surprised even me.
Here’s the diary of how it all unfolded …
Monday morning : meet with Asha and we have a one hour light bulb moment session where we [...]

One of the most amazing aspects of my work is when a client not only publishes a book but when that book opens unexpected doors for them.
Karen Gilbert came on one of my workshops in 2010 and the next time I heard from her, a few months later, it was to ask me a question about [...]

Here’s a fabulous interview with Eddie Yu, author of a new book called Speedlights and Elephants.
At a surface level you might take it as yet another book on how to make a million online perhaps making claims that worked for the author but are out of reach for normal mortals. You might cynically think it’s said [...]

I am as pleased as punch at getting my latest client a publishing deal within less than a month of our first meeting.
The reason I am so pleased is that this client, Gerry O’Hara, is 87 years young !!
And there’s at least two other books in the pipeline too !!
What’s more Gerry has taken on board [...]

I am so thrilled to announce that, less than a year since I wrote the original book, Flavours of Thought is now in its Second Edition.
The second edition of course includes all the ancient wisdom in the same contemporary context as the first but now there are some added juicy bits such as:
- Seven brand new [...]
