The Book That Keeps on Giving #Audiobook #NewRelease

When I released my first book back in 2014, I could not have foreseen the incredible journey I was about to begin. Writing is something I’ve enjoyed from a young age, and yet, like millions of other aspiring authors, I never took myself seriously or committed fully to writing anything worthwhile.

That changed when I started my blog on the 1^st January 2013 and devoted time to writing weekly posts about the New Year challenges I’d set myself. It was that simple act of getting into a regular writing habit that helped me to not only complete my work in progress, but to publish, promote, and succeed with it.

How I Changed My Life a Year is a blog to book project that truly did change my life! It reached number one in the Amazon best seller list for self-help and women’s biographies (twice!). It also attracted the attention of Penguin Random House, as well as W F. Howes, and has now been sold to BHC Press who will be able to reach a much wider audience than I could dream of.

The book continues to hold its own in the top twenty best sellers for self-help alongside huge names in the personal development arena. I’ve watched my little self-published title nestle next to Paul McKenna, Russell Brand, Louise Hay, and many more, and I burst with pride every time.

New opportunities present themselves every year thanks to this single book, and 2017 is no different. I’m delighted to announce that WF Howes, the UK’s leading audiobook publisher have turned How I Changed My Life in a Year into an audiobook.

The cherry on the top was receiving a lovely email from actress, Lara J West telling me how much she’d enjoyed narrating my book. Her wonderful feedback left me glowing with pride yet again.

Lara’s professional bio reads as follows:

Lara was classically trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School where she played everything from Humpty Dumpty to Lady Macduff. Since graduating 20 years ago, she has worked in film, running through forests in a corset (too tight); arrested people in a uniform (too large); and played a whole host of people in need of urgent medical attention. Recently she wrote and performed a musical for children which is now being converted to an animation series for T.V. Lara overcame the terror of stand-up and now strangely enjoys it, incorporating impressions and cartoon voices. She also played a down-to-earth character in a long-running Radio-Soap; and loves all things aqua – the sea, the sky…and singing the Blues.

As well as narrating scores of books, Lara also produces musical audiobooks for children aged 3 to 7. You can find out more about this HERE.

I couldn’t be happier that Lara has narrated How I Changed My Life in a Year, and I’m over the moon that she has also narrated my second book How I Motivated Myself to Succeed which is due out as an audiobook in January 2018.
