"I'm sharing my publishing journey because I want to encourage others to keep going - whatever their dream, regardless of how long it takes, or their age.Ms McHaines was in the car with her husband when she saw the email from The Book Folks on her mobile phone but kept the news to herself until she was sure of the contents of the message.
