I am so excited to share my novel with you. It was released yesterday!

I made the decision about 6 weeks ago to self-publish. Last night I went onto the Createspace website and hit the ‘Publish My Book’ button. (What a great button!) It told me that it would be 5 – 7 days before it went live on Amazon’s sites. This morning I put a sneaky photo on Instagram and discovered 10 minutes later that it was already available to buy!

Unfurl is a novel about magic and food and baggage and connection. It is about looking at yourself and the stories that hold you back. Best described by one reader as Eat, Pray, Love meets The AlchemistUnfurl was initially written as my response to Sue Monk Kidd’s comment about women being the largest untapped resource on the planet. Fed stories of unworthiness and fear, shame and guilt, many women believe that they are powerless. This book is my attempt to give contemporary women a new story to believe in. A modern heroine’s journey with a dose of sacred magic, Unfurl is the story of what happens when you dare to ask for more.

I’ve got all of the chapters recorded, so I will be releasing an audio version in the coming weeks, but in the meantime if you are interested and would like to buy a book, if you are in North America, go here. If you are in the UK go here.  (Please ignore the temporarily out of stock message – it’s only because they are printing them on demand – please, demand!) If you are anywhere else and it’s on your Amazon site, please let me know the link!

Updated: It’s being converted to Kindle as we speak and should be on there by or before the 29th.

If you want to hear the first chapter, you can also go here.

This is the result of many years of writing and dreaming – I have to tell you, it feels amazing.

The Sensitive Soul – A Story

December 19, 2012

“So please be careful with me, I’m sensitive and I’d like to stay that way.”

~ Jewel

A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a friend about her daughter. The little one was having stomach aches at school.  I don’t think I got through to my friend just how much I could relate to that feeling.  Sometimes I feel like I am sensitive to the whole world.  The older I get and the more I learn about myself and about the way my body, mind and spirit work, the more I realise just how sensitive I am – how sensitive I have always been.  I have begun to listen to the messages my body is sending me, and to learn to be grateful for the ‘different’ way I feel the world.

So this story is dedicated to my friend and her wonderful, special and magical daughter, and to all of the other souls who can see even a glimpse of themselves in my words.  You are not alone. You are loved.

The Village – A Story

December 11, 2012

“Human folly does not impede the turning of the stars.”

~ Tom Robbins

A Storyteller with no voice is a sad state of affairs!  I had always heard that when you stepped into what you were supposed to be doing, the universe would reward you with flow.  Flow is the opposite of what November felt like!

The upside of nearly a month of no creativity is that I am full of new story ideas!  I hope you enjoy this one. It is a little longer than normal at 8 minutes, but it’s one of the stories that just about wrote itself.

From me to you, with love.
