Thanks St Kentigern and to those who have purchased my novel

The weekend saw the end of 12 months fundraising for St Kentigern Hospice, the incredible place that showed unquestionable care and kindness to dad. With all the profit proceeds from the sales of my debut novel 'Island to Island' being donated to them, it was memorably marked with a new experience - the traditional 'big' cheque handover from mum and me to Val Corner at the hospice.

Although only a modest amount it - you certainly don't get rich as a debut author - it goes part way to show our appreciation and will at least help to contribute to the incredible work they do.

A big thanks to all the readers who have purchased my novel and so contributed.
