Book news | Get ready to de-stress with me

Hello! Here are a few bits of book news for you. First up, I just wanted to let you know that my next book, a guide to de-stressing, is on its way.

Look at that cover, what a delicious shade of green. Green foil bits too.

How to De-Stress in Five Minutes a Day: Inspiring Ideas to Help You Unwind Every Day will be published on 8th January 2026 (yes! it’s not that far away) by Vie in hardback and kindle formats. Available in lots of places. I’m sure your local independent bookshop will be able to get you a copy. Wink at me if you get desperate.

It’s the same format as my previous books, with lots of short tips that are designed to be effective, practical and easy to integrate into your life. I’ll tell you a bit more nearer the time.

And BTW my book about how to find joy is once again in the 3 for 2 gift offers at Boots so look out for it. It makes a great gift!

Befiore then I’ll be teaming up with a fantastic bunch of authors to take part in the Shoreham Wordfest author event. Do come along, we’d love to see you there.

Meet the authors event, Shoreham

Shoreham Wordfest Meet the Authors event takes place on Saturday 4th October 2025 from 2pm to 4pm.
