A thank you

As some of you may know I have been contributing to Trashionista (a book review website published by Shiny Media) on a weekly (and voluntary) basis with my column ‘Helen’s Heroines'. I am extremely excited as from today my writing for the site has increased. I will be posting two posts a day – books news, reviews and various other book related stuff as well as my regular column.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the Novel Racers for being so supportive of me since I joined at the beginning of last year. I know this isn't about my novel but my dream of writing features has been running parallel with the fiction. There are a lot of ifs. If I hadn't picked up Kate Harrison's book, if I hadn't googled her name and found the race, if I hadn't the guts to set up a blog, if I hadn't then come across other sites and then offered to write a review for Trashionista and so on and so on. Without the Racers and the support you have given me I would NEVER have got this writing job. I feel like it is a huge milestone in my writing career plan.

It's fab news, and it's what you said: if YOU hadn't picked up Kate's book; if YOU hadn't had the guts to set up the blog. You've done really well. You shown lots of courage doing all these things.

Well done.

Many congratulations, Helen. What a lovely role to have as well, reading lots of fab books as part of your job! So glad it started with the blog, too. Though as everyone says YOU'VE worked so hard to get there and it's a great milestone.
