Dear Raven
I have watched from afar as you have winged through the darkness with the precision of a bat, carefully navigating your career. It has been a long time since I spoke to you and you won’t remember me, I was trying then to embark upon a writing pathway but it has taken me a long time to get my first book out. You kindly warned me about certain publishers and I took that advice. Here I am with a magical adventure for aged 8+ aiming to do the things you were doing then – book signings – getting your work in book stores etc. I have started with local as I live in Chesham. I would be so grateful for any more advice you can offer a newly self published author. A thousand congratulations upon your wonderful work. Much luv Jayn Winslade
