Anstey Harris The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton

Anstey Harris is the author of The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton.




Thankfully, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Anstey in summer 2018.  Following my acceptance onto the MA programme for Creative Writing I felt I really ought to get up to speed with a  little extra education and saw a short course up for grabs under the watchful eye of Anstey.

With vocabulary to demonstrate the glass half full within her teaching that summer, I felt at home in my new writer world.  Of course, only to be further impressed when this talented author showed us a copy of her book which was soon to be released by Simon and Schuster.

Finding the authors lurking over on Twitter was a great way of keeping in touch and knowing where to find them.  Anstey has kept her twitter page up to date with all of the upcoming signings for the book.

I, for one will be going along with excitement.  You might even spot some up and coming authors from my university cohort as we are all going to pick Ansteys expert author brain!

Where and when?

You can find the book and signing at Waterstones, Rose Lane, Canterbury in Kent on 

Saturday 16th February between 14.30-16.00

THE uplifting novel of 2019 is coming in January. Grace is about to fall out of love and into life in The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton…#GraceTriumphs @Anstey_Harris pic.twitter.com/QIWqUcisSs

My next few blog posts will be sharing stories of my own writer journey following some short pieces we created on Ansteys course.

Hope to see you at the book signing!

Meeting Tyler Oakley and Stephen H Vlog

Good morning everyone!



How's life treating you all?  How was your halloween?  Gosh, I feel like there is so much to catch up on between you and I.  Honestly,  things have been manic here as always and as you know by now, checking in with my blog is just the best - I love it.  My place of retreat and love. <3



My theory about firework night is this: in Kent, we seem to get a turn in the weather right after the 5th of November and typically when we see our first frost.  I'm hoping it holds out for a few more days.  I've yet another exciting weekend coming up and you don't want to miss this one! I will of course be vlogging it but also taking some photos to share with you.  If you haven't already,  sign up on the right hand side of the page to get my blogs sent straight to your inbox.  It's a great way to keep up with all your favourite blogs.



Meanwhile, I am procrastinating - I really must get back to some Uni work! I'm getting behind on projects which is super crazy.  So early in the year too! This is going to be quite a ride.



Much love

Crazy Social media frenzy!

What in the world is going on?

More manifestations - well, I did ask for it!

As you know, as I have told you so many times, you get what you think about.  I have spent the past couple of years building my business online and I love it!

How do you know you are doing the right job?  Well, coaches often say if you are feeling like you just want to get up and keep doing what you are doing over and over again then you are in the right job.  So here I am, on my day off, writing, editing and more writing.  I love it.

Is that how you feel about your own life?  If not, you are able to make changes.  Let me tell you, this visualisation stuff really works.

For me, I have manifested so many results recently and have a very clear understanding of where I am going forwards.  Such a lovely feeling.  Here's where you come in.  Not only can you help me, but you can be a little nosey in the process! We all love to peek into each others lives.  Recently I have been sharing more and more on Youtube - insights into my day.  People seem to love this stuff.  That, coupled with my blog....

I am up for an award!!!!!



I'm thrilled to see this and I would really love it if you can come on over and vote for me! Twitter will let me know if you do and I can then send a retweet out to all my followers for a little more press for you too!  A favour for a Favour!

I will be so thrilled to see a finals place for my blog.  If you are someone who blogs, you will know these things take lots of dedication.  I love my blog! To get that prestigious recognition would be fantastic!  The finals are in New York.  It's been a dream to go there!

So what else has been happening?  You can follow all my news in the links above.  However, the low down,  Jasmine and I went to meet with Zoella recently and now we went to meet Tanya Burr.  If you aren't sure who these ladies are, they are massive in the world of Youtube.  Such an inspiration.  They had a dream to build a business online and made them happen.  Great head for business too! See the video blog I made here.  The internet world is going crazy for this video!

Meeting Zoella

As promised, here are the photos from the day we met Zoella.

She was totally a delight.  Looking right into the eyes and excited faces of every book fan, she was lovely.
I announced to her with glee,
"I've brought my baby girl to see you!" And she replied with an "Aww" and pulled a face that was familiar in her videos to her viewers.

I asked Zoe with a heart felt message, "So how are you doing?" Thinking she is likely exhausted with mental excitement and she replied with a cheery smile,
"I'm ok how are you?"

Once Typical pink teenager showed emotion, I showed emotion too.  Apparently the first parent to shed a tear.

Another parent who I connected with through twitter (he was there taking his big baby girl too) said I must be so proud to have the #firstcryingparentaward.  Yes!

So here are the photos from blue water book signing with Zoe and my girl.  What a wonderful day.  A great demonstration of a Lusher Life and a dream coming true.  For both Zoe and my Jas.

Apologies for the quality but we had to be quick taking the pics on the phone.

I'll be making a 'snippets' video to go on Youtube really soon, meanwhile, wishing you Much love

Louise xoxo
