You know I always love hearing from you, so hit reply to this email or leave a comment. Deliveries via trained falcon and coded sendings in dreams also welcome.

Sending you love from Amsterdam, till next time.
My first book, ASK ME: A MEMOIR OF DARING TO LOVE DIFFERENTLY, is out in paperback, audiobook and e-book. It’s been longlisted for this year’s Women’s Prize for Nonfiction, and this week I’m off to London to celebrate that at the Women’s Prize Summer Party! See you there?
