"Your heart is broken, long before it's broken."

"Your heart is broken, long before it's broken." I wanted to explore how emotional wounds begin long before the cause of the actual wounds take place. That, sometimes, we are in anticipation of this pain - the "heart brake" firmly secured as the heart is bracing itself for an inevitable pain. Do we create further pain in anticipation of it?

✍ Unravelling is out 27th September 2024.

Unravelling is here…

🚀 A double life, a blonde alter-ego, signing a three-book deal, blonde alter-ego being shortlisted as publicist of the year! Turning down a fourth book deal to do this myself as myself. The first copies of Unravelling have arrived.

I am happy 😊 

➡ Sometimes, you are not meant to be in a system. Sometimes, systems are not made for you. That’s okay. There is always another way… 
➡ Keep going... take the first step, the way will find you 🙏 

You can pre-order in all book shops and here

I spoke at Amazon yesterday. Sharing my story of rejection, putting on a suit and pretending to go to work, the book deal I gave myself, my blonde alter-ego alias, signing a “real” 3 book deal with HarperCollins, booking a theatre and putting on a one woman show because no one was interested in a show about a 50-something Asian woman (show was later optioned for television), adapting that show into a novel and turning down a fourth book deal to go solo (no blonde alias this time round 💁‍♀️ ).

What I shared is that:

➡ There will always be obstacles but there is always a way and there are different ways of unlocking doors. You just need to persevere and find yours.

Just as I was leaving I came across beautifully painted doors hung on the wall. Apparently, when Jeff Bezos started Amazon because he used to work off a desk-door as there was no money. He certainly found his way from that desk door 🙂

📅 Unravelling is out 27th September, 2024. May you find your door and your way. #Keepgoing
