It's published! Just goes to show that you really can do anything if you put your mind to it.

 Good afternoon guys, and once again apologies for almost a years' silence from the land of blogging.  Well I do believe that this time I have a good excuse, and that is that I've worn my keyboard out writing elsewhere. Writing a doc to be precise, and a doc that has now become a 65,000 word book.

I started writing this book around three years ago, I've always written, but this time I wrote and wrote and suddenly there were more than three chapters and there was some really meaty content.

Having finished the book, I sat back and waiting for publishers to randomly get in touch asking if I may have just written a book that they could publish for me. That was proving a little slow in coming through and the book sat on my laptop for about a year, until a good friend suggested that I self-publish on Amazon.

Firstly, Amazon and I have had our ups and downs, both partially to blame, but I want to say on this occasion Amazon have been truly amazing.  The process of uploading my book, firstly to Kindle and then onto paperback couldn't have been more straight forward, and I love them for that.

It also meant that I could this without any criticism or backlash. In fact the only criticism so far has been from one of my closest friends who spotted a missing comma in my synopsis. I will forgive her that, because she has bought a copy of my book!

Initially, I've said to myself, I'm not doing this to become a renowned author, I'm doing it because I've written the book and it's silly not to allow others to read it, however, now that I've sold over 14 copies worldwide, I reckon I could do this.  Only early this afternoon I was practicing my interview on Loose Women, and choosing my favourite foods for Saturday Kitchen.

Ok, so I'm totally jumping the gun and it's really early days but what I wanted to get across today is, Never say Never. If you really do have a dream, then follow it. Don't rely on others to get you there, but look at all your options to how you can get yourself there.

And if you want to buy the book, you can of course find it on Amazon, in both Kindle and Print format. Search for "Play Fair, Alexis Noble" that's me!!
