Hello community of beautiful souls.
May this find you healthy and hanging in during these times.
I am so excited to share that my book: Breakdown: A Therapist's Journey of Losing It and Finding It is in its final stages of layout and cover design. The book has gone through it's own journey of title changes, 2 different editors and layout designers as I find my way through this windy path of self-publishing.
I am in the process of adding ornamental breaks in the manuscript and making sure that the dimensions are all good on the cover art and the book should be complete soon!
Because you have been supporting me since day one I would love to get you the manuscript sooner than later.
1. For those who have not purchased the book yet and are open to reading and posting a review on Amazon, please email me at ali@alipsiuk.com and I will send you an advanced file of the manuscript. I'll then alert you as to when the e-book will go up for .99 on Amazon. I will only have it up at that price for advanced readers so that you can leave a 'verified review' so please let me know and I will send you more instructions.
2. For those who have purchased the book and would like to begin reading, please let me know and I will send the advanced file your way via email. The book is in a generic Vellum file right now as the final elements come into place.
I am so grateful to everyone for keeping the wind in my sails and I hope to get the book to you soon!
All my best from Cape Town, South Africa soon to be Mexico!
Below are a few photos from the Kruger National Park where I'm just back from an unbelievable time in the bush. You can see a bird sitting on top of one of the rhinos. The birds eat the ticks off the rhinos making both parties very happy creatures; a natural win-win.
To harmony,
Ali
