Gosh. Is This Too Graphic??

We need your help. Or at least one of us does.

As you may remember, Liz's book is currently with the editor. The nice one with the blonde hair.

Last week the editor sent back the first two chapters. Full of edits. These edits were accompanied by an email that said, "these edits are suggestions. This is your book. You get to say what stays or goes".

I told you she was nice.

The trouble is, there's a problem. A big problem. Something that Liz never anticipated when she so cockily employed a professional editor...

Liz is a recovering people pleaser. Actually, that's a lie. She hasn't recovered yet. She's still in the acceptance phase.

So our question to you, lovely listener, is this:

Does what I read out in this episode offend you? Is it too graphic? Or does this slightly sick-but-still-funny attempt at humour tickle you?

We would love to know. Email Liz at [email protected] or Brian at [email protected]

Thank you, and enjoy!!

Edits, publishing and marketing...I want to share the lot. Every detail of this rollercoaster with YOU! Be the first to know about the release! be the first to hear about the AUDIO version!

Our Daughter. Tessa. Behind The Scenes

Tessa is our daughter. She is 18. In two days' time, she will leave me, Brian and her older brother (and the home where she grew up) to start a new life in Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Alone. Brian and I will officially be empty nesters.

Regular listeners to our podcast will know the effect this huge transition has had on us. Especially me. These past few months have been tough.

I always imagined that when the time came for my kids to leave home, I would be this super cool, open, liberal, go-with-the-flow parent. One who relished the opportunity of having the house to herself so she could indulge in some grown-up, mature stuff with her husband.

But no. The opposite is true (Sorry, Bri). I'm clinging to those apron strings so tightly that the poor girl can't go to the bathroom without me trailing behind her...

In this week's behind-the-scenes episode, you will be treated to something very rare. A one-to-one in-depth talk between me and my daughter. In it, she shares every thought going through her lovely head as she makes this big transition into adulthood. Enjoy.

PS: Enjoyed the show? Email me at [email protected] and let me know! I will pass any messages on to Tessa

Liz's Book Update

The manuscript is currently with the editor. I need to get a cover design, think of a title and then... voila! It should be ready to release in March 2023! Keep listening for more sneaky peaks, and I will let you know when you are able to pre-order! Remember, you can email me at [email protected] if you would like to know more about the book.

My Newsletter

It is filled with nothing but goodness, laughter and thought-provoking stuff. You will love it. But be warned. Sometimes I cry and drink wine while I'm writing. All at the same time. If that sounds like your sort of thing, then sign up here, and we will be lifelong friends.

Welcome back!

Regular listeners to this show will already know all about Brian's little problem. His closet obsession.

If you are new to the show (welcome!) and you aren't aware of what we're talking about, fear not; you soon will.

In this weeks show, we talk about Brian's inherited hindrance, rearing cattle and putting yourself out on social media when it terrifies the heebie-jeebies out of you...

Enjoy!

PS: Don't forget! If you would like Liz to continue reading snippets of her book, then email her at [email protected] with "keep reading the book!" in the subject matter. Thank you so much for your wonderful support.
