I am pleased to be able to share some details of my next book with you.
Firstly it won’t be a follow up book to Mental Health Wisdom. Mental Health Wisdom was very successful and was very comprehensive. It was years in the making. I’m super proud of the book and I did briefly toy with the idea of doing another mental health book.
But then I thought – What would I put in it that isn’t already in Mental Health Wisdom? I didn’t have an answer, so opted not to write another book on mental health at this time.
So what is the book? It’s a practical pagan book. It is being co-authored by one of my good friends and I.
We are hoping for an independent release via the Amazon platform some time in 2021.
This is my 1,000th blog post. I always said my blog would be eclectic, but I didn’t realise just how true this would turn out to be. It covers all aspects of my life including: Achievements, Creative Projects, Days Out, Emotional Posts, Pets and Travel.
