This is a moment I have dreamed about for a very long time.

Through the Hedge: Tales from Mossvale, my debut short story collection, is officially live on Amazon and I am sitting here with my physical copy in my hands and all the feelings in my heart.

In this short but very heartfelt episode I'm sharing exactly how it has all felt, the emotion of holding your own book for the first time, the pride of pushing through the self doubt and the fear and the moments of wanting to give up, and what it means to finally believe in yourself enough to put something so personal out into the world.

This book has been a journey of re-enchantment, of grief, of creativity and of trusting the process even when the path wasn't always clear. It started with a walk alongside a hedgerow in a place called Badger Dingle and grew into a world called Mossvale that I couldn't stop returning to.

If you have a dream you've been putting off, something that lives quietly in the part of you that hasn't quite been given permission yet, I hope this episode reaches you today.

Through the Hedge: Tales from Mossvale is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.
