The time has come, tomorrow is the official release date for my debut novel “Running from Myself.” You will be able to buy a copy from Amazon in paperback (£9.99) or ebook (£5.99).

I have had reviews begin to come in from those who purchased an author copy early directly from me, and I wanted to share some of these with you.

I am ABSOLUTELY LOVING THE BOOK, can’t put it down. Can’t wait to lend it out! – Helen

Warning…this book is addictive! I got my copy yesterday from Amber at church and said was for my journey to Norwich this weekend… However, I took a pause from cleaning the house and had a little peek inside… An hour later and 5 chapters in I’m still here! Massive congratulations on a book that has managed to grab me from the very beginning. Looking forward to this read! Contact Amber directly to get your copy now, just be warned, once you start, you won’t want to stop! – Theresa

Finished the book! Well done for writing such a good book! I really enjoyed it and have read it in 1 week! I’m going to pass it on to a friend of mine to take on her holiday I’m sure she will enjoy it as much as me! Brill review from me xx – Lisa

This last review made me cry when I received it and makes it all worthwhile.

I have to say that l have never read a book in 24 hours before, but l just couldn’t put your book down. l just couldn’t stop thinking about it and reading it. Emily said to me yesterday ” Mum you must really love that book as you took it to the swimming pool and was reading it while l was swimming today and your still reading it now ” It was powerful from beginning to the end. I have struggled with my faith for a little while now because of busyness and worrying about the future so my relationship with Jesus hasn’t been strong but God spoke to me very clearly through your book specially about putting him first in all things and specially when l can’t see clearly. l have made a decision to get my relationship with God back on track. I felt Jesus was sitting right next to me, showing me things as l was reading your book. The Holy Spirit touched me through this book, and l have been truly blessed, and l know that this book will touch and bless the lives of many people. You have just brought me back to Jesus and made me realise how much l need him. I keep running from my past, too, but it always finds me. Thank you and God bless you and your beautiful family. – Debbie

Reviews are important to authors. I feel like I have been almost holding my breath in anticipation. Waiting to hear back – will they love it or hate it? So when reviews come in like those above, I breathe a sigh of relief. I know not everyone is going to like it but it brings me so much joy to know some will, and do, love it. I would love you to leave a review on Amazon and Goodreads if you buy it.

On Friday night join me on Instagram Live at 7pm, grab a brew, and have a little chat! We can chat about all things book and anything else that comes up. It’s been a difficult week for so many with all the goings on in the world, so hopefully, it will be an encouraging positive safe space for us all.

If you’ve never joined an Instagram live, don’t worry because I’ve never gone live, so it can be a first time for you and I! Make sure you are following me so you get notified IG:itsafaiththing

The final exciting news I want to share with you in this post is that Simone Riley has invited me on to her show on BBC Radio Manchester on Sunday 4th August between 12pm and 1pm. You can listen in here BBC Radio Manchester

It’s a busy time for me as we are also moving house, we had hoped our completion date would have happened already but this is the way it has fallen. Your prayers would be appreciated as we balance it all. I hope to see you tomorrow over on my Instagram at 7pm and I hope and pray that you will enjoy my book.
