I am very
excited to see the release of my very first book of any kind, a children’s
picture book called Be brave Beatrice. The publication date is 29 January 2021.
I can’t wait to see the finished product, and to hold the book in my hands.
I hope that
people find the strategies that Beatrice’s father teaches her to take her
‘disgusting tasting medicine’ are helpful for other children. My daughter has
found this a challenge (not so much the swallowing of the medicine, but keeping
it down). I think you can guess who the inspiration for this book was, and yes,
the vomit was real, only multiplied. I didn’t want to scare young children by
adding all the gory details!
Thank you
very much to the illustrator from Austin Macauley for doing such a wonderful
job with the illustrations and for listening to my suggestions. I love the
bright, vibrant colours.
I hope to be
doing some newspaper interviews and a book launch in the near future, so watch
this space for details of any future events.
