In reply to Sue Blackburn. Aw, thanks for the support Sue, always so appreciated. I haven't organised a book launch yet, but really must. xx

What a fabulous post Sam. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway personified. And you have.

Look forward to reading that you’re doing a book launch, if it’s anywhere near where I am (doubtful 🙁 ) I’ll be there And would be lovely to hear you on the radio.

Can’t wait for Breakfast Under a Cornish Sun and good luck with it – not, I’m sure, that you’ll need it.:-) xx

From my point of view no author should be afraid of something. Always train yourself to be confident. Good luck!

I remember you posting about that meeting with your publisher (and the sandwiches).Don’t blame you! I went into meltdown at the prospect of meeting my agent in London for the first time.

In reply to Tracy Krimmer. Thanks so much Tracy. Five books is amazing, keep on going. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of luck and that might be just around the corner. x

In reply to Claire MCCOMISKY.

Thanks Claire. And don’t give up – if I can achieve my dream with all my fears and paranoias anyone can 🙂

I’m still working on it. Five books published and waiting to see success. I’m always scared. Scared of failing. Scared of succeeding.

Congrats on all your success and facing all those fears! You’re an inspiration.

A wonderful insight, Sam. It’s always comforting to read your fears echoed by someone who’s achieved the dream of being published. It makes me feel hopeful.
