Published books

During the course of my life, I have always made notes, kept diaries and journals. I write about everything from how I am feeling, new jobs, holidays, new births, deaths, bad days, good days as well as anything that had an impact on me.

Sometimes I will write daily, sometimes every few weeks but the longest span that I have gone without writing is about 4 years. Going back to write after that length of time was weird as it actually felt as if I had missed that time of my life.

I also wrote about movies. Every time I watched a film and I heard a quote that meant something, I would make a note of it. This led to my public speaking but I also wanted to write a book on this. This hasn‘t happened... yet!

A defining moment in my life was the passing of my sweet mum. She struggled with dementia for a number of years. I was inconsolable. The only thing that helped me was to pour out my feelings, my heart, my sadness onto paper.

I wrote everything. Page after page of emotion.

After I had nothing else to write, I felt a weight had been lifted and when I read everything that I had written, I wished I had known all this before. This was what lit the flame.

“ If I only knew then what I know now about Dementia” was the title I gave to my 1st book. I published it on Kindle and it became incredibly popular. I charged very little for it and also provided it free of charge to help others in similar situations. It led to me speaking at many events about my experiences.

When publishing this book, I bumbled through Kindle, and although it‘s not the easiest of processes, I persevered and eventually managed it. It was not presented in the best way, it didn‘t have the best cover, it wasn‘t grammatically correct, in fact, there were so many things that could have been better, could have made it perfect, but I didn‘t care.

I didn‘t allow the reasons for me not to publish it to not publish it.

All I knew is that the content was 100% identifiable. Many people were brought to tears when reading it. If I had waited for it to be perfect, I probably would have never published it. Many people wait till the time is right. The right time is now.

If you would like help publishing your book, I would be more than happy to help.

This then led to further books over the next couple of years. All the books had subject matter which had an impact on me or based on my life experiences.

When I turned 50, my life was turned upside down. I started to gain body fat especially around my chest and waist, despite exercising well and eating healthily. I was becoming very moody, often feeling depressed. My mind was filled with brain fog and I didn’t feel alert.

Women go through the menopause due to imbalances in hormones. Men also have hormonal imbalances, primarily the depletion of testosterone. I investigated and eventually came up with a solution. These days I can just look at a mans body and listen to him talk and can be pretty confident that he is struggling with this imbalance.

This led to my next book about testosterone.

I then went on to write about losing weight, which I have over 30 years of successful experience.

I have a number of ideas of further books with my next book being about nourishing the soul, highlighting certain habits I practice every day and the reasons why.
