The magic continues to build

Sensitive to the light, here I am up and awake and ridiculous o'clock telling you all about another magical connection from the wonder that is Call Me Lion.

Regular readers will know the story of how Call Me Lion came about; how I feel that I cannot take credit for the book being out in the world because it began with a voice, the voice of Lion, who chose to speak to me. Thing is - it was only when I searched for help and found real people that the magic truly began.

Now the book is a real and beautiful thing, the magic is growing, ever stronger and more powerful. Like a lucky skimming stone, it bounces across still water, each bump creating positive ripples that span out wide. 

Yesterday I had a message through Facebook from someone I'd not met. I won't name this person as they don't know I'm writing this blog and it concerns their daughter but this a copy and paste of the message I received:
Thank you thank you thank you for writing this book my 12 yo has been sat reading it since she got home from school every few pages she says Lion is like me! And will explain how she feels about SM she has never opened up like this before! Thank you so much!

Obviously I've replied because... well how amazing?! This is the book working. This is Call Me Lion in action - doing the work it's supposed to be doing. This book can only create positivity, connections, empathy and understanding. It can only do good work. This is not about me or my ego as a writer, this is about connecting people through compassion. Please tell everyone about Call Me Lion because look what a difference it can make to real people and real lives. 

I'm left stunned and dazed after every positive ripple and feel incredibly proud to be part of something so powerful as Call Me Lion. 

That's all I have to say for now. Thanks for reading my extremely early morning, magic-related blog post!

Ever since I read and reviewed the preview copy, I knew this was a wonderful story, and one far greater than it seemed. This comment from a reader mirrors my feelings that this is such an important book. A great achievement, and thank you for writing it 🙂
