Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday to Me!

It’s my birthday today. I was greeted at 6am with 10 year old Mr Z coming into my room to wish me happy birthday, followed a short while later with a request to play on his tablet! Mr N greeted me with a cuddle and then headed back to bed.

Today will be fairly low key, an my main birthday celebration will come later in the month when I have the book launch for Swallow Me, NOW! Watch this space for details, and you can subscribe to my email list if you want to be sure to receive an invitation. You can also pre-order your copy and I’ll send it out following the launch.

When we were looking at publishing Swallow Me, NOW! I commented that it would be cool to celebrate my birthday with a book launch – and now it’s happening! Isn’t it wonderful when dreams come true.

I hope you have a great day today, I’m looking forward to birthday wishes and being spoiled by my boys – when they emerge from their bedrooms once again.
