It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas when I had the honour of speaking at The 7 Effect’s annual Cocktails and Dream event on 17th December.

Cocktails overlooking the beach, a wonderful crowd and the opportunity to talk about how my dream to become a published author was made real by HarperCollins only eight short months ago. What more could a girl ask for? Oh -and I got to spend time with writer and artist friend, Toni Willson. This  snap was taken when Toni asked if I had done all my Christmas shopping yet.
