Our next book, but not the first book for author Nelson Brooks, "The Fair Way" a crime comedy novel was released on April 28th 2025. This was so much fun to work on with the author, I was delighted also to have a meet up with Nelson and his lovely wife Elaine in my home town of Stratford Upon Avon, just last week. We shared some bubble's and chatted about books, what else would we talk about !!

29th August The Challenges of Writing a Book
Writing a book presents numerous challenges, and it is crucial not to allow these obstacles to hinder your progress. Always remember your identity as a WRITER. Throughout this writing journey, it is important to practice patience with yourself and acknowledge that you possess a remarkable story to share. This endeavor is not a sprint or a competition; it requires considerable time and effort. Therefore, take your time and avoid pressuring yourself when inspiration seems elusive. Setting your work aside until ideas flow naturally is often more beneficial than forcing the process, which can lead to unnecessary stress. Aim to make this experience enjoyable; while it may demand hard work, remember that you are a WRITER.
At times, you may find yourself in need of a mental boost. In such moments, reminding yourself that your writing is unique can help maintain your focus. It is understandable to struggle with the vision of your book on a shelf, and the journey may be lengthy, but that is perfectly acceptable. When brilliant thoughts and ideas come to mind, be sure to capture them on paper promptly. Notebooks are an indispensable tool for any writer, though I may be slightly biased due to my fondness for acquiring them.
