Is it a best seller? Will it make me millions of dollars?
Probably not, I am realistic. Fame and fortune was never my goal. To hold a
book in my hands and flip through the crisp pages with the name L J Higgins
printed prominently on the front. That was my goal and still is. If people buy
it, it will be a much appreciated bonus.
The fact so many people have been supporting and aiding me
in my venture with the full knowledge they will most likely receive nothing
other than a manuscript and a thank you in return makes the adventure even more
unbelievable. People willing to help me make my dream come true without expecting
something in return. We are made to believe it is rare in the world for people
to do this but in my recent experience that is untrue.
In 2014 I will finally realise my dream when I launch my
novel “Dawn of the Dreamer” a story almost two years in the making. Not to
mention the years of writing which led to this point. I have already learnt so
much. From how to create my own website through to how to sell myself as a
brand (still a work in progress). The part which excites me the most is I know I
will never stop learning as long as I write and publish books.
It is also amazing to finally have a release for the
sometimes strange imagination I possess. An imagination ingrained in me since I
was young and I hope to carry till the end. It has taken me years to embrace my
inner strangeness. The odd way I sometimes see the world. Through writing I am
finally proud to say, “I am Linda and Yes I am a tad different.”
Keep an eye out over the next few months as I move on to the
next chapter of my publishing journey. And I thank you all for coming on this incredible
adventure with me.
