Hi there and season's greetings to everyone
I'm Jacqui Knight from Auckland, New Zealand, recently have published using Smashwords, a great system.
My book has been in the process for something like 15 years, beginning with a diary I kept when I rode horseback the length of New Zealand. That's about 2,500 kilometres, or 1,500 miles - it took me 105 days over ten months. Fantastic scenery, great riding country but the best part was all the wonderful, kind and helpful people I met en route.
I have written ever since school, my first success being "A Day in the Life of a Penny" which won me £1 (I think) in a competition when I as about ten years old. But most of my writing has been for magazines, newsletters and newspapers - as well as marketing campaigns.
I'm a mother of two, grandmother of three and now live in the city with a Shetland Sheepdog, Bonnie, and a garden full of butterflies and flowers. I'm secretary and "major stirrer" for the conservation of New Zealand's Lepidoptera.
So that's all about me - look forward to hearing from you and hearing about you and yours.
Cheers
Jacqui Knight
