Hello everyone

 Wow what a month. Sorry I haven’t been writing in this blog. I have been busy with the tasks I need to do as an author. Getting Benny in book stores, keeping up with financial responsibilities, selling and signing copies. 

More recently I had been working on my book launch. Like the book I had my friends helping me with the preparations and on the day. 

The launch was on June 22nd and many people attended. I was fortunate to be able to read Benny to children. I then did my speech and Q and A. I was amazed how I spoke infront of 50 people. I felt so good speaking about my book and celebrating community and raising awareness of mental health at my launch.

Then I went to the lounge room to sign books and be photographed by Vikki.

I was so exhausted at the end of the day but I was so happy that I had achieved so much, so rewarding. I have heard that it was an enjoyable and positive event.

The colourful pictures are enticing, and Benny's problem is presented with sympathy and wisdom. There are no easy answers, but the author shows how life can improve, with time, with patience, and with the support of friends. Lost your buzz? Know someone who has? Wonder what it would be like?
