Backstory
My first ebook and also my last. Ever. That is how I approached this ebook. 6 months of work, countless drafts, while living in 6 different countries – Australia, Denmark, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany, Sri Lanka. I started this project around Mid May 2015, back when we were living in Australia. I even posted images on Instagram and Facebook announcing my ebook saying it was coming “soon”.It went from a loose idea to a huge project fast. My first draft was printed out in July for Charlene to edit, it was 25,000 words long! I have wanted to give up many times along the way, but in no small part to my magic half, here, 28 weeks after the “coming soon”, it is released!
In the coming days I will post a more indepth making-of story.
Thank you

So let me just say: Charlene Winfred, for supporting me and kicking my ass to keep improving, and working with me on gigs. You spent many, many days editing this book. You are magic my love and you make me magic. This book would never have happened without you!
