SOME EXCITING NEWS!!


I have returned from my unintentional blog holiday to say that my book on TSW, CURING MY INCURABLE ECZEMA (which I announced in a blog post here) will be released as an eBook and paperback on Amazon WORLDWIDE on Tuesday 26th December 2017!!!!!!!!

I initially started working on the book back in March but took a very long break from it due to the fact that I moved to London in the summer, started a fabulous new job and gave myself some much-needed time to settle in. I ended up having the BEST few months - eating out, socialising and exploring my beautiful city that I am lucky enough to call home and even though I have been better for over two years, it's during these months in London that I feel as if I have finally made up for the lost time that TSW took away from me. I also turned thirty in September and with that, came such a wonderful sense of peace. I am so glad I took a break as I learnt so much and definitely grew as a person.

During that time, I had moments where I was desperate to start writing again but it wasn't until Monday 6th November when I woke up and suddenly decided that I was going to finish the book by the end of the year. That decision resulted in what can only be described as an intense period of time for me with life consisting of waking up almost every day at 5.30a.m. to write then after work doing exactly the same and not making plans at the weekend in order to reach my goal. It's something I definitely wouldn't recommend doing for any prolonged period of time but in the short-term, I am so glad I pushed myself to do it as I can't believe everything I have been able to achieve.

I am using this book as a way of finally closing a chapter on that part of my life and I hope to never have to think about TSW on a deeper level again. I will of course continue to keep you updated on my skin and blog about it but I certainly won't be discussing the things I think I need to forget. Besides, it's all in the book now and littered over this blog so there is no need to.

I would of course appreciate the support but please don't feel under any pressure to buy my book (<<< a one woman marketing machine right there). This is not for financial gain and more something that I felt I just had to do which I hope in turn ends up helping a few people out there. The book is made up of new material and articles and extracts from this blog that I couldn't not include.

I can't tell you how good it feels to have my TSW journey and eczema history under one 'roof' and now it's done, I am looking forward to working on something which makes me very happy even thinking about. I might also have some EXCEPTIONALLY exciting bookish news for you in early 2018 but for now, until it's confirmed as it could very easily fall through, I will keep it to myself and just hope that it works out.

I am sorry for my absence from this blog and in the new year, I plan on regularly posting here again but as this will be my last entry till the 26th, I am wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

Much love
