The week that was.....

Rollercoasters are not my thing ;)

This week I revealed the cover of the book to much excitement! Thanks so much to everyone & all your kind words! October 16th is the big date! The countdown is on xx

This was a tweet I received from an Irish journalist after I revealed the cover for the book on social media on Wednesday night & it was the nicest thing anyone could ever say….I still can’t believe what he said…Eddie has written probably 10 books or more so I know this tweet is coming from someone who knows a lot about books & their covers…It meant so much to me as I’m doing all this on my own, making decisions and calls that I often doubt but then I just trust my gut & hope I’m doing ok. So thrilled everyone seems to love the cover xx You know what they say about a book - and judging it by its cover…..please god this will all work out & I’ll do a good job for Gran xx

Hello there Substack familia,

This Friday’s letter is another audio one….This letter see’s the end of a very important week. Last Monday was a chaotic kind of hair style day (complete madness really but in a good way) as I got the book sent off and then a very topsy turvy week followed but it was all good…The book is now being laid out for print so it’s all very exciting and of course the rest of the madness follows now…I can do this right?! ;) fingers and toes crossed. All rosaries and magic wishes accepted also haha ;)

Just hit play on the above audio while out for your walk, while boiling the kettle, while strolling around the house and I hope you enjoy :)

The Facebook family gave me permission to do another voice recording/mini podcast this week due to the chaotic level of my life at the moment ;) I hope you will enjoy it and I hope you don’t mind less typed words and more spoken ones. Thanks for sticking with me during this fast changing rollercoaster time in my life and thanks so much for your support. I couldn’t and wouldn’t be doing this without you. I would be too afraid but with ye by my side, I think I might just be able to reach the end & get Gran’s book out to the world :)

In this recording, I give you a little insight into the madness of putting the book tour together - the beginnings of it anyways and I finish my words by reminding you that you can handle anything that life throws at you! You’ve got this! And I’ve got you too!

Until Monday where I’ll meet you with a smile and hug & we’ll start the week again,

Love and light always to you my dear friend,

A lovely mention in this week’s Roscommon People Newspaper about Granny & the amazing person she was. Thank you to Ciaran Mullooly for this & also he kindly has contributed beautiful words in the book about the magic lady herself….A special thank you to Corinne Connaughton in Roscommon, who is part of the Facebook Family & who shared this article with me (I wouldn’t have known otherwise) & then went on to see me three copies of the paper in the post! I have no words for how amazing ye all are to me…thank you, thank you, thank you xxx
