Ali that's really great news, and sounds like you will thrive in the writing of the book. I love your writing style. I'll try and hook up for that long postponed walk around Lough Crew, as I'm in Sligo next week for 10 days. Congrats again and I hope your still have time to share your wise words and lovely insights with us on this page. May your words have wings, congrats Catherine
Absolutely! Not only are we never to old to dream but often times it takes years of living for the dreaming to push through. I'm very excited for you, Ali! I've been following your writing online for years in various spaces and I know what an incredible voice you have. I'm looking forward to reading your book in hand! Congratulations!
Thank you so much, Charli! 😍 I hope all is well with you. I hope, if there's one thing I've taught my sons, it's never to give up on their dreams, but also that it takes hard work and perseverance. Thank you for being with me on this journey. 💕
"Working class people like me did not become novelists. " haha really, well you showed 'em Ali! Well done and congratulations! Can't wait to read your novel :)
Thanks Ingrid! Publishing has improved since those days, but has still a way to go. Watch out for the menopause novel, I think it could become a thing! 😂😂😂
Thanks Robin! I can imagine the happy dance 😄 It's all so surreal, still hasn't sunk in. Btw I was looking at all the photos from our tour last summer, I could put them on a USB key and mail it to you, then you can download straight onto your computer. Let me know if that would work for you. 💕
I will be excited to receive the photos. You could send that to Bart in France, and it would be a lot cheaper. He will be home for a couple of weeks in September, then back to France through October. His Mary Magdalene tours are going great guns. He booked 6 this year.
Hi Amanda, thank you so much! Yes, a few edits to do just to polish it up. There is a whole schedule already planned out up until publication day, so although it seems a long way off, there is still a lot going on behind the scenes. I'm finding it all quite fascinating! 💕
Thank you, Carly! 😍 But what I want to know, is when is your book coming out? That is a story I'd really like to read. Not to mention your beautiful writing style. 💕
Polis! I know you are a very busy man. No need to try and catch up, but so glad you read this one... it's because of this book that we got to know each other in the first place! I hope you are well and happy. 😘
This is such wonderful news. Many congratulations. So happy for you, Ali, and just know that your words will be such a gift. Looking forward to reading them! Delighted for you.
Kelly… thank you for your lovely comment! You are very kind. A bit of a wait before it's released into the world… during which time I will probably go through various fluctuations of self-doubt and imposter syndrome! 😂

Indeed we are! 💕

OMG! I am so excited for you, Ali! Whee! Doing a happy dance here for you! I can hardly wait to get my hands on a copy!

Wow that's great work… he'll be exhausted when that's done!
