The Beginning: My very first editorial in The Fever – a local publication. I got about fifteen copies, and wondered why I didn’t blow wave my hair…
The Hilltop editorial. Yes, halfway through they started referring to me as Michelle. Nothing makes you realise you have a long way to go like people forgetting your name. Which is on the book I am holding, yes.
Highway Mail Article, right name, better hair… I think I’m finally getting known 🙂
Business & Book Profile in the Mercury Business Section. This was an amazing piece that made me feel a bit like superwoman.
THE REVIEW!!! Debbie Reynolds loved my book and wrote this awesome review, which featured in The Good Life (entertainment section of The Mercury). I was blown away, it made me chest-bump myself in the mirror. Did I mention Debbie Reynolds loved my book?
Another review in The Crest Magazine. This was the first time I saw my book on GLOSSY paper. You can imagine my excitement. Oh, and Hayley Dennyson loved my book. Just in case you were wondering.
This review is AWESOME – note the last line. yes, that does say “cult following!”
