Books at Beckenham - Meet local authors

 


If you are in or around Beckenham this Sunday, come and meet some local authors including me. As well as books being sold, there will be hopefully a storytime happening for children aged six upwards. I will be there selling my children's books and my new memoir 'Endocarditis - My Journey' all at special prices. You will get a free coloured paper bag of your choice (blue, black, green or red) and a bookmark to go with the memoir. Here is an excerpt of my memoir: 

September 2020

I can't remember what happened in this month, except I was still losing weight. It might have been this month that I started to experience another unpleasant symptom. I have never liked finding loose hairs in places they shouldn't be such as on soap bars or places where I eat. I can't recall how it started, but one day I found a loose hair and OMG, I felt ill! I wanted to be sick. I actually retched. This would happen quite often, and on a few occasions I was actually sick. I hated it. It put me off my food if I found one on the table as I was about to eat. I googled this. There is a name for it, but I can't recall it. What I do remember seeing is that one of the causes was infection. I didn't think anything of it. When I mentioned it to my mum, she said that she used to be like that when she was younger, so I thought that I had taken after her, like with a lot of other things. I didn't know that it was part and parcel, as they say, of a bigger health issue.

I hope to see lots of people there.

What happened to me in 2020 and 2021

 So what happened to me in 2020 and 2021? What did endocarditis do to me? Find out in my memoir 'Endocarditis - My Journey- either as an ebook or paperback here https://www.amazon.co.uk/Endocarditis-My-Journey-Julie-Day-ebook/dp/B0B8VT2X1H

I can reveal that it was a shock to me what happened, and it still makes me emotional when I think about it. I can also reveal that the heart beat line on the cover runs through the book, and the colours of blue and red have a meaning which is on page 110.

The ebook is also available from all good ebook platforms.

I hope you like my writing.
