I love the cover and the review was glowing. It was such fun to read about Niamh's journey to publication. I thought her advice about not waiting to write was excellent. So often we want to wait until we have the right conditions. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this inspirational post. :) DMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3801207462566510326.post-23642375318333640592013-07-02T14:56:40.184-07:002013-07-02T14:56:40.184-07:00I love writing with a lyrical quality.
