Hey there,
I’m just checking in to say that Tapestry, my collection of short stories, is FREE on Amazon from 4-6 March 2016.
I’ve mentioned a couple of times on this blog that, when I was little, my mum said she would like to have a book dedicated to her. Well, now she has one, so I thought Mother’s Day weekend (as it is here in the UK) was a good time to have a little promotion!
Happy Mother’s Day, Mum!
I’ve popped a little bit about each of the stories below. If you choose to download and read Tapestry, I very much hope you enjoy it. :-)
Much love,
Elle. xx
In hope, in pain,
we lose, we gain
but always and forever
the human heart braves life
in light and in shade
A collection of twelve short stories exploring the complexities of life and love.
