.... for a writer / family history enthusiast in your life? Look no further! Writing A Life will be out in a few days now - as soon as copies are available, the details will be on my Buy My Books page. This book has certainly been a while in the coming but it's now very nearly here and I'm really excited to be "getting it out there". Having worked with so many people over the years, helping them to put on paper the stories they want - and need - to tell, I'm so pleased to now be able to get the message to a wider audience.
However "ordinary" we feel them to be, all of our stories - the personal ones and our family ones - have the potential to be fascinating, and they deserve to be told, whether for our offspring and future generations or a more general readership. There are plenty of more "academic" tomes on life writing, but this book sets out to be a gentle prompt, an encouragement and an innovative guide for those just setting out to piece together the jigsaw of a life or lives. And these dark winter evenings are a good time to start - so watch this space!
