Here we go…. You MUST come & see me on tour!! This is an important book. It’s tackling something that matters, not just in terms of our relationship with the past, but also where we are in the present. On your marks. Get set. Go! linktr.ee/JaninaRamirez

Legenda is 100% worth its RRP but if that's just not affordable for you right now, tomorrow's your chance to get it for 99p!

My love for Poland runs deep, having 3 out of 4 Polish grandparents. But this filming has turned that love into a fascination & infatuation. I can’t thank @artywaldy enough for the experience. You’ll get to see the fruits of our labours soon in Nina & Waldy’s Adventures in Poland

Hysteria kicking in on day 3 of a mad, thrilling, wonderful filming adventure with @artywaldy through Poland!! More photos to come. What a crazy few weeks it’s been!
Unsurprisingly I crawled home at midnight and have woken with the flu 🤧🤒😣

I know I’m not a big fish. I know my books take time and effort. But on this tour I’m astounded by the passion shown to me by people, some of whom have stayed with me for 15 years! @annaecarruthers has made magical nails for each of my books & I love her. I love all of you.

Dear friends. I’ve done something different launching Legenda by targeting independent bookshops. I didn’t drive all sales to Amazon. So I’m relying on those of you that are reading it to share reviews & spread the word. I want this book to be supported by readers, not algorithms.

I’ve got to the end of the most brutal part of this tour. I’ve been overwhelmed with love and friendship. We’re all little pebbles splashing, making spaces, connections, webs, and our ripples reach far. You all help me get up every day and carry on. Thank you. Help Legenda fly….
