This isn&#8217;t a book telling you the best way to do things; it&#8217;s simply about the way I currently see things, and those views may well change in years to come. Times change and the goalposts move!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve self-published this book because I wanted to make sure my voice could still be heard. It was also important to me that it came across very much as a book written by an amateur author, because that&#8217;s exactly what I am!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have gone into so much more detail about different subjects, but I wanted to keep the book an easy and enjoyable read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, if anyone out there needs any help or support with any of the subjects I cover, I&#8217;m always available for a conversation. As everyone who knows me will tell you, I&#8217;m a very open book!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The book is priced at \u00a325, including postage and packaging.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve also made the conscious decision to donate <strong>\u00a310 from every book sold to Make-A-Wish UK<\/strong>, giving something back to some of the children who need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having experienced many struggles ourselves with our daughter, I know first-hand the comfort that comes from knowing there are others out there willing to try and help wherever they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoy the read!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if not, hopefully it&#8217;ll at least make a good firestarter, as it&#8217;s not quite thick enough to make a decent doorstop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like details on how to purchase a copy, please feel free to get in touch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:phillip@fallowfen.com\"><strong>phillip@fallowfen.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, the book has landed!
