It’s a hugely exciting thing having a parcel arrive. The parcel today was on another level. I wrote this story around 10 years ago, and decided to bring it into the world last year. After a few months of emails, communication with illustrators and a lot of waiting, I am finally holding it in my hands.
They say everyone has a book in them, and I believe it. How amazing though to be part of the group to have a book brought into reality. I am nervous about the next step now – setting it free. The story here affects me deeply on an emotional level, and I hope it resonates with people. We are all different, and our experiences are unique. However the story is received, I can only really hope for one thing – kindness.
This story is from me, but may not be for you. And that’s ok! If it makes you feel something, that’s great. If not, then that’s fine too. There are some deep issues within this story, and I’m sure there will be plenty of opinions about them. I hope we’re able to discuss them constructively if it comes down to it.
Whatever comes next, if this story is for you, I would love to hear your feedback. Please feel free to send a message through the website or to my author’s email – abikennedywrites@gmail.com. I look forward to you reading it and sharing in this journey.
Release date 6/12/24 – available from Austin Macauley and other major retailers online.
P.S. Does anyone want to invite me somewhere so I can use the posters, bookmarks and fliers I’ve been sent?! 😅 I’m still learning about this whole self-promotion thing!
