Day One

Friday, 2 June 2017

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Daisy Belle so far!

This is scarier than I’d imagined, I’ve never gone direct to readers before and it’s brilliant seeing that people do want to pledge. In just 24 hours we’ve reached 18% of the overall target!

I’ll be updating the crowdfunding process here, and posting background stories on the real life people who inspired the novel, please feel free to ask questions and add comments, I’d love to hear from you....
