Let me tell you how I felt on the day of my book launch. With the weather forecast making it clear that it will be rain, rain and rain again, I prayed for a miracle and yes, I got one! Blue skies and real summer on the day made me realise that we were in for a successful launch, and we got nothing short of that. I was so happy to see all of my friends from the Harrow Writers’ Workshop proud to be part of the launch. Members of my church also came, with my pastor casually dressed and looking just like one of us! As for the book itself – well it flew off the table. The joy of that day will live with me for a long time and as someone who had very little education it was such a proud occasion to see my novel, The Dancing Tortoise on display in Waterstones. It makes what we are doing at Happy Ever After all the more important. If I can help provide other people with the gift of writing, as I myself have been helped in the past, I will be truly blessed indeed.
