The day has finally arrived and I am so excited that WHEN YOU’RE SMILING is finally out in the world. I am very proud of this book and really hope that those of you who have preordered it (can’t believe I actually had preorders) enjoy it, and those of you who bought it enjoy it too.
It has been out for a whole 24 hours and I had every intention of working on Book 2 yesterday, but I failed. Instead, I took the day to just sit back and celebrate the fact that I’d managed to get a book out. It had gone from a little idea in my head to this fully edited completed thing with a stunning cover too. (Thank you Meg Jolly for that!)
I had such a good time getting to know these characters and getting to know this world, and that enjoyment has continued well into Book 2, which I finished the first draft of on Sunday. It’s definitely a strange feeling to have a book come out and already thinking about the next one, but I am already getting excited to see what you guys think of When You’re Smiling and then the follow up Just Keep Breathing, publishing in April.
Thank you so much for all of the support so far. The journey is just beginning…
