I am so unbelievably excited to share with you the news that A Girl Beyond Closed Doors has won The People’s Book Prize for Best Achievement 2024!
The Best Achievement award is given each year to the author whose book advances the human condition, benefitting their community, or the world at large in some way.
When I think about the fact that Beyond Closed Doors is the last book in the series and the last time I will be writing about my journey living with M.E. AND the fact that I’ve found out this news during M.E. Awareness Month, it feels all the more special and important.
A Girl Beyond Closed Doors was really the book I wrote for fifteen year old me, who had juat been admitted into hospital and was TERRIFIED because my body was completely shutting down.
I wanted fifteen-year-old me to know that everything will be okay, and even though life will definitely never be the same again, I will still be able to live a fulfilling life.
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to every person who has taken the time to read my books, leave reviews and champion everything that I do.
Here’s to the year where I finally get my act together and start writing blog posts again on this website and updating it more!
Thank you for being a part of this wild journey – it’s been quite a ride!
