what's the story?

Many years ago an idea for a book began to take root in the corner of my mind. I occasionally made a few notes, scribbled down a few ideas on scraps of paper and in notebooks, but all in all, I paid it little heed. Then about four years ago a good friend of mine on her retirement said to me 'Sara, don't you get to my age and have any regrets'. This gave me pause for thought and I decided to get my little seedling of a book and see if I could nurture it into something special. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. So I wrote and I rewrote, I moulded and shaped my little idea into something that I am rather proud of. It's not the story that originally took seed all those years ago. No. That little seedling grew into something quite different, and I sent it off to as many publishers as I could before I got cold feet. And now, in four days time - the 31st of March 2023 - my book is due to be published. The Sum of all Parts - a story told by 6 female narratives - will sit on the shelves of book shops and, hopefully, in the homes of many. I hope those who read it will gain some hope, some succour, some enjoyment. As for me, one less regret and one dream achieved. Now for book number two!
