What Dreams Are Made Of


Some weeks ago, I posted that I was Moving On To The Next Chapter and promised to keep everyone updated on what this new chapter was. Well, here it is ... my very own fiction novel - Excuse Me, My Brains Have Stepped Out. Take a sneak preview of some of the chapters, here.

Edited and compiled from some of the blog posts made at Peace from Pieces with many more newly added chapters, this comes after a tremendously long trail of rejections, one VP shunt surgery, seven years of lumbar punctures, a very rare medical condition and the realisation that comes with getting your priorities in order. To say, I am thrilled to bits is truly an understatement. 

For now, there are no critics who can take away this moment from me and no pin that is going to burst this bubble. I have arrived to the point where I know what dreams are made of, I am now a published author! What next, hmmmm, bestseller list maybe? Second novel and more articles, for sure. 

In the meantime, to the publisher (Heart Press) who said yes, to the editor (Sonia Rumzi) who has poured much time and effort into nitpicking the raw material to make it an even better read for everyone, to the readers of this blog who have made this possible and to the family and friends who cheered me on, my utmost heartfelt appreciation to each and everyone of you.

And still, my cup runneth over.
