What a roller coaster ...

This week has felt like Christmas all over again, the mad rush shopping for presents, searching for the right gift for each person, packing suitcases and planning our trip to see family in SA, organising things for our dog Stella while we are away ...

When I decided to write a book in November last year, I had all these grand plans about what I would call it and what story I'd tell. I knew there was more to it than meets the eye, but I completely underestimated how much soul-searching, learning, time and energy would go into creating...
