Beautiful people,

I have so many exciting things to share that I might explode!

THE PAPERBACK! - we did it! Thanks to you spreading the word we sold enough copies of the hard back for the good people of Unbound to take a punt on releasing a PAPERBACK! (So handy for the handbag) Set to be released on 6th Feb. I will share the cover design when I get it.

AUDIO BOOK! - An audio book of…

Hello hello!

Just zooming in with a little update about Don’t Hold My Head Down.

• Very excitingly I was asked to write quite a long feature for a Guardian Weekend , Sex and Intimacy, supplement. It should be in tomorrow’s edition along with a um VERY ORANGE photoshoot of me.

Please do keep an eye out for it and send it some love!

• Also, I’m going to be doing a few talkies over…

Hello hello,

I hope you are well.

I have loved launching Don't Hold My Head Down into the world. Particularly being a 'Number 1 best seller in sex' on Amazon, I may pop that on a business card. And MP Hannah Bardell telling everyone present to put it on their reading list during the recent debate on Sex and Relationship eductation in the House of Commons.

I have got quite a lot of talkies…

Hello hello!

It is publication day for Don't Hold My Head Down and I am buzzing and bursting with gratitude.

THE BIGGEST THANK YOU to you for supporting this project.

Yesterday I went on Woman's Hour and was interviewed about it by Jenny Murray. The response since has been wonderful. I lept from somewhere in the region of 130,000 in the Amazon chart to 89th out of the whole Amazon chart yesterday…

Hello to you 444 dear kind wonderful people who have bought the first copies of my book,

Good news!!

The book is (SO NEARLY) FINISHED! Proof copies are being printed right now and Don’t Hold My Head Down will be out in the world and landing on your doormat in early February. It is all very exciting.

Aaaaand I have a little proposition for you all. A mission, should you choose to accept it…

Hello wonderful people!

I just wanted to stop by and update you on the book.

I have completed an early first draft! Whoop!

High five. I thank you.

I call it an early first draft as it is still a bit rubbish, but it’s a starting point on which to build. I haven’t sent it to Unbound just yet, it is currently with some buddies I trust and admire who will tell me where it is particularly crap…

Hello! Hello! Hello! *high kick, wiggle

You may have spotted I'm rather jolly this morning!!

Well...that is because...

WE DID IT!! WE MADE 100%! THIS BOOK IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO SO SOOO MUCH for pledging, for sharing and for believing in me and the project.

Now, I just have to finish the manuscript and make it really good so you are proud to have your…

Good afternoon wonderful people!

How are you diddling? I do hope well.

I am thrilled to say that I am 69% funded! Yes, yes, I know what you are thinking but that isn’t the only reason why this is exciting….it is exciting because the good people at Unbound tell me that no one has got to 70% and not made it. We are so close!

Also, rather wonderfully, I was interviewed about the project by industry…

Hello kind people who have supported my sex book!

First of all, I am very sorry it has taken me TWO YEARS to get in touch. But you see they were a very busy two years, with an awful lot going on, so I had to put 'crowdfunding my sex book' on the back burner for a wee while. There were my two very poorly parents (thankfully doing really well now) there was a birth (cor blimey, that was a bit full…

Ooo I'm a bit excited to be writing in my Shed!

Apologies for it taking me so long to get acquainted with this space and to pop up and say a massive and really heartfelt thank you to you all for supporting this project.

In excuse of my terrible tardiness, things have been a bit busy of late. Page 3 went, then reappeared, but now thankfully seems to be really properly gone. Boom! I wrote a little…
