Get the flags out!
Hang out the bunting, bring on the marching band and crack
open a bottle of something fizzy because ……. today’s the day. Well the day was actually Sunday 24th
November 2013 but I wasn’t QUITE ready to tell the world!
I have been working towards this moment for about a year and
a half.
I’d be lying if I said I had been working on this full time because
of course, life comes along and has a habit of getting in the way.
Our dog, HuffingtonBear arrived en route to the completion
of the first draft of the story and needed some tlc and more than a modicum of
training, the kids had various things going on in their lives like grown up
birthdays and starting new jobs and college courses. We attempted to move house, then decided to
stay, then decided to build an extension.
Oh and I have read somewhere in the region of 90 books in the same
amount of time it has taken me to write just one! All very welcome interruptions of course, but
they have all been things that distracted me from the end objective.
So here we are finally.
Wednesday 27th November 2013 – Right Up My Street by Juliet
Robbins is available to buy in paperback and on Kindle via Amazon. If you buy it in glorious, glossy paperback
it’s £6.00. Thankfully I have also been
able to publish it via Kindle and you can buy it for the fabulous, minuscule
price of 77p. Cheap as chips, which I am
thrilled about because of course, this is my first go at writing a book …… so
be gentle with me ;)
If you are kind enough to buy it then I do hope you enjoy it
and if you don’t, well it’s 77p that you will never get back – gadzooks! ;) Although it’s a light, weekend read and just
a bit of fun I have honestly put a great deal into it and am now extremely proud
to be able to say that I have written and published a book.
Thank you to all my brilliant friends and family who have
been kind and supportive. For those who
know me well, the story is truly Holly’s and she’s a made up person and
although I met the love of my life Internet dating it’s not about us or my
friends and family ….. although I guess you could easily add two and two
together and make five! In doing my research some years ago now, I really did
meet some of the most absurd people along the way - that much is true, but each
character has been dreamed up out of my imagination. Tis amazing where one can draw inspiration
from ….
So here we are, finally.
I hope you enjoy reading Right Up My Street in whichever format you
choose. It has been a journey, it has
been an education and it has most certainly been emotional.
Big love beautiful people, Julesy ;) xxx
