A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

Always nerve-racking when an author you admire reads your work so to see this had made my day 🥰 Thank you so much @laurapauthor.bsky.social
#45ThingstodoBeforeYoure45 is an utterly relatable Audible original. It’s about midlife and covers all the bases - perimenopause, relationship drama, juggling kids and career, ailing parents. You’re sure to find something that you identify with. And to laugh as much as you nod.

well. yes. I agree it’s not the AUTHOR’s job to run around trying to get blurbs for marketing and publicity, as this is not their job or skill set. but the publisher? the people in charge of Marketing And Publicity? perhaps this might be mysteriously linked to them somehow?

Rejection is wired into the creative process and longevity and success is mostly down to how you deal with this one issue.
