As an newish author, this post struck a chord with me. It contains both humour and truth. Writing is a largely lonely journey and we authors snaffle up whatever crumbs of support and encouragement we can get. It’s often one step forward, two steps back, but we soldier on for we know nothing else. There is no other way but to duck into the squall and keep moving forward. Thank you to those of you who support my journey. I will always be grateful.

We are Stephen and Fionnuala and this is our story. We live in Northern Ireland, have been married for 17 years and have three kids - Adam, Hannah and Rebecca.
We hope that our story will inspire and encourage others. We have walked a rocky road yet here we are today, together and stronger than ever. We are far from perfect and our faith has been battered and bruised.
But an untested faith is a pointless faith. Just as a fractured faith is better than none at all.
We hope you enjoy the blog.

I don’t know, maybe. the thing is the market is so overloaded with info, books, authors… difficult to stand out or ‘to be found’ by the reader. plus we always have to be ready that 50% DNF or hate it – 50% like it.

true… also, I think a lot of writers are doing it for themselves.
Thing is only – the market has changed, so its all about best promotion and advertising (at least 60% of it).

All the sports team I support seem to do nothing but lose and disappoint. So glad to have a favorite author that is a winner!

I like #4. I became an “internationally known” author when a Canadian friend requested my books at her local library. They complied, I made a sale, and she got to read my books free. Win-win! 😉
