A little bit of progress!
Well it’s been a few months since my book was published and I’m pleased to say that it has slowly started to sell! As this is my first go at writing I really didn’t know what to expect, but I had been warned that it’s a slow process.....a very slow process!
As I explained earlier, I wrote the book to help other parents in a similar situation to myself, with teenagers who may be starting to experiment with drugs. Feedback has been great so far, with many parents saying that they had no idea what to look for or what the tell-tale signs of drug use were. Some have said that they feel much more informed after reading the book, which is exactly what I wanted to hear!
The addiction counsellor who helped my son get back on track has begun to use my book with other families he is working with, so slowly but surely the book is doing its job. It seems that everybody knows somebody who is affected by drug abuse. It could be somebody in their immediate family, a distant relative, a neighbour, a work colleague, but everybody knows somebody and the problem is growing!
I’m working on a couple of other writing projects at the moment which will hopefully tackle the same issue from a different perspective. I’m looking forward to telling you more in the very near future!
Thank you for reading....
