Dear friends and family,

It has been precisely a year since I published my debut novel 'Second Chances.' Firstly I would like to express my profound gratitude to all those who have supported me on this incredible journey and hope you enjoy the new novel due out for publication later this summer. (Watch this space)!  In addition all the book reviews submitted have been an absolute pleasure to read I am delighted 'Second Chances' has touched so many hearts and been able to elicit such warm responses far and wide.

Secondly in a year of personal highs and heart-breaking lows losing my father who was my hero and my heart was deeply devastating however  I am enormously appreciative of all your kind words of support and gifts of love. Thank you for making it truly special and re-affirming my faith in humanity. Inspired by your words and deeply moved by your actions I am firmly resolved to seeing what 2011 has in store for us all.


Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito
Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them


I look forward to speaking with you all very soon.
As always

Anne-Marie
