Advent

It’s the start of Advent and I’m still trying to write my first blog - I haven’t even had time to Google ‘How to blog’. With another church pantomime rehearsal tonight and the deadline for no scripts on stage - you’ve guessed it - I still haven’t learnt the song and my TWO lines! Then there are all those presents which need to be taken to Nora, who will act as a courier to a large section of the family - accept they aren’t wrapped yet and I can’t remember when she’s going; and her Wisteria needs pruning at the same time. Christmas eh!

On another note, Martha Martha, which if you haven’t heard, is my new novel just out, is gently selling. I understand it probably isn’t the easiest time of year to be sitting down reading a good book (but when you do, please put a review on Amazon but not if your related to me) but it was a good time to launch one.

I’ve had another order for Five books from Bala, North Wales, which we visited while on holiday just after the launch (see Facebook and Instagram) and a good few encouraging comments; the best so far “I can’t put the book down, but I’m really sad because I’ve nearly finished it”. It doesn’t get much better than that from where I’m sitting.

God had been teaching me (not the easiest pupil in the world) to believe in the book that he has helped me write, because, like so many of us, I have trouble believing in my own self worth. But he chose me because he loves me and when we know we are loved we feel special. That love gives us wings which enables us to do things we never dreamed we could.

p.s. We are waiting to hear if Martha Martha has been successfully registered on the Nielsen listing (international data base for books). Another challenge faced. I’ll tell you more next time.
