I read this book recently and found it completely absorbing. It wasn’t just the story of Rose, although that in itself gripped me, but also a commentary on societal values and the psychology of relationships. So relatable.

Thank you so much Elaine! You'll never know what a thrill it was to open my phone messages on the day of the book launch, and to see that you had received your ebook and that you were reading it on holiday! That was so encouraging, I can't tell you. Every writer would love to hear what you wrote about my book!

Wonderful - with a touch of self-deprecation and humour and evocative imagery. Any reader will love this. And then "that’s another story,..." Great end hook!

Thank you so much Judith! Yes, leave no stone unturned seems to be the motto in the book marketing game. Actually, I wish I had taken classes in this book marketing lark. Apparently there's lots of info on You Tube. More to learn, and I'll bet, more to pay as well for that knowledge. Which, of course, pushes back the break even point even further.....Agh!

I know!!! It's a vicious circle, Rose.

Voraciously read it Rose! - wonderful narration and a gift to have shared your experiences in such a witty and insightful way :-)

The next instalment is probably me being a door-to-door salesman hawking my book. On street corners, "Hey, mister, wanna buy a book? I can put it in a plain brown wrapper!" Thanks so much for all your help and encouragement along the way!
