    Book launches are back! For the first time in 3 ye Book launches are back! For the first time in 3 years, I could celebrate IN REAL LIFE my new book with friends and family in The Mansion House. My tenth book in ten years, so this one felt extra special. Launched by my dear friend Elaine Crowley, with my editor Lynne Drew by my side, who took care of the Q&A, it will go up with a career highlight for me. I felt such warmth and love in that room last night, I am quite surprised I didn’t cry! Then this morning, my official
publication day, I had brunch with my editor and agent in the Westbury, before heading to Easons for a little book stalking. And to our joy, as we arrived, A MOTHERS HEART was about to be placed in the No1 shelf! My heart is full of
Gratitude and Love this morning. More photos and videos to follow! ❤️

If you can get tickets, don’t miss this beautiful adaption which is as heartwarming, emotional and uplifting as the book was. As for @DavidBreeds, I am in awe at his staggering talent. 
I wept in the final scenes. Highly recommend. ❤️
