“The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.”
Paul Valery
Thank you Spidey for that fantastic quote!
Firstly, I must apologise for the late Spidey entry today. I did indeed need waking from my dreams this morning, to the realisiation that I had not scheduled this post last night!
Too busy making dreams come true, to be honest, and tiring myself out (which, given my current state of health, is not that hard for me to do!) to stay awake long enough to write a post up, last night!
You see, yesterday saw the beginnings of one of my life dreams coming true.
You may have noticed, (and if you hadn’t, where on earth were you?) on my author blog, this blog, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, that my cover reveal went live yesterday.
Not only is this the beginning of my dream turning to a reality, but it is a poke up my backside too, and a reason for me to not procrastinate any longer.
No more dillydallying, and wishing that one day my book might just get out there, but now I have to do this!
I was overwhelmed by the reaction that the cover got, from both familiar names, and others who have been following me, or who happened to come across the image while checking out their social media.
So many of you, eager to read this precious baby of mine!
So, my next steps are to wait for my final editor check, hopefully with nothing more than a few silly spelling or punctuation issues, (fingers crossed, then format the book, finish writing the blurb, get the paperback dimensions to my fantastic cover designer, upload everything to KDP and set a publication date.
Still a bit of technical work to do, but you guys, my book will be out there soon!!!
And if you missed it, here is the cover for Marriage Unarranged. 😄
I’m going to be cheeky, and late to this one too, but since Linda’s prompt for this week’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday was Dreams, this post fits the bill perfectly (even though it’s been posted on a Sunday!)
So… tell me, what is your biggest dream right now?
But I Smile Anyway...

What a wonderful cover. I can’t wait to read it. It is indeed a dream come true.
My dream is still to go to NYC for a weekend. I had said if I didn’t make it by my 75th BD (which is today, BTW), I’d give up on my dream, but I’m thinking early March, maybe. I guess I’ll just have to set a date and THEN see who will go with me. Hmmmmm.

My. man!! Spidey the philosopher.
There was also a quote by some smart successful business man which I forgot his name that went ” the key to success is to go to bed early and wake up early” something to that effect. Me and Spidey should get together, can you hook us up?
