A few weeks ago, I was feeling particularly overwhelmed and totally out of my depth, at the thought of formatting “Watching the Daisies” into paperback form. I sent out a prayer for HELP!
Miracles do happen…
A reply came forth immediately.
A lovely Irish lady, (who had crossed my path a few months back, but I had forgotten about) e mailed me that very same day with a reminder of her skills!
She has now formatted my book, arranged a cover design, given me LOTS of tips on pricing, distribution, marketing…
This week, I spent a full day proofreading (not my favourite task), but that is all behind me now…
I am thankful that “Watching the Daisies” should be available as a paperback edition, in good time for International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day on 12 May.
If you want to participate in Bernadette’s “52 weeks of Thankfulness” writing prompt please press the frog at Haddon Musings
Deb at Once Upon A Hot Flash posts beautiful daily grateful posts.
Please call round and say “Hello”.
Well done , all your hard work has paid off , and I can’t wait to buy and read your book . Great day also for the book launch x

Thanks, there should be a small ‘thought bubble’ icon at the top right of the post. There should also be a link on the very bottom right of the post next to the ‘tags’ etc. Sorry for the trouble, I am going to look at improving the icon.

Congratulations on moving forward with your book in paperback. How exciting for you, as well as, a gift for others. This reminds me to ask for help. Just look at the connections that can happen. I must say, I am not very good at that skill yet. Have a beautiful day.
