An anniversary gift to Andy
The best piece of advice I have ever been given was by a colleague when I was working at Hewlett Packard. I really wanted a global role and to spend more time working internationally. "Decide what you really want and make it happen" she said "otherwise you will just make an excuse".
This has become the mantra for how I have lived my life ever since. (I got the role by the way). It's what has helped me to develop the resilience and drive to get through some of my toughest times over the past few years.
I wanted to be the best possible mum for Daisy, I wanted to make sure that our other children did not miss out on childhood, I wanted to ensure our marriage would survive...
After Andy died I was determined to write the book that he so wanted me to write. I wanted it to be published by our 25th wedding anniversary, my gift to him.

I have written a book
"You should write a book"
I've lost count of the number of people who have said that to me over the years.
So I did.
I promised Andy I would. I promised I would capture our story and share it so that people could understand that we really are ordinary people thrown into extraordinary circumstances. I was no different to thousands of other working mums in the UK, trying to juggle a career with childcare. Until Daisy came along, and my world changed overnight.
It's experience that has shaped me and given me the resilience to face the challenges life has presented over the years.
That's why the book's strapline is "It's not the cards you're dealt, it's how you play them"
Andy played poker and he knew all too well the game was more than the hand you were dealt. I hope I have done our story justice. The people who have read early edits seem to think so.
My book is being launched on 12th September on what would have been our 25th wedding anniversary. It's my gift to Andy and a legacy to our children.
You can pre-order a copy before the launch date and receive it the day before. For all pre-orders I will donate 5% of the rrp to our hospice, ShootingStar-Chase.
The book will be available to order from Amazon and all good bookshops on the launch date.
International orders and ebook orders will be available from that time too. An audiobook is in the pipeline for release at a later date.
