My dear friends,

It’s almost time to say goodbye to another incredible year… it’s been magical and having you here with me has made it so special. I’m finishing off this month with a bumper "Vibrant, Imaginative, People" newsletter rolled into one big, amazing feature on The Magic of Miramare, its release and its launch at a wonderful celebratory party only two days ago.

I wanted to record the special event here in recognition of all the support in its organisation and planning my intern, Diellza, and for those of you who have supported its journey to publication through reading advance copies, sharing book cover reveals on social media and reposting my pictures and news. It feels like I have reached an important milestone having signed off on my three-book deal with my publishers with this third book. It's been a wonderfully busy three years (and counting!) but in some ways I am looking forward to the peace not having to write to a deadline affords me now.

Those who live in London and able to come to the celebration party -- family, friends, colleagues, and peers -- have inundated me with their beautiful messages since attending the party on Thursday evening at Grecian Artisan Wine Co. in Enfield, north London.

I read a short excerpt from the book, shared memories of my family holiday in Kefalonia - the inspiration for the setting of my story - and we enjoyed beautiful wine, delicious food and wonderful conversations.

I have been truly touched by the kind words and pouring of love not only towards me but in recognising how wonderful it is to be in a room with so much shared joy. The love, the magic, the support in that one venue was incredible and so strong that I could feel it, touch it. 

“Thank you so much for inviting me to your special day. I cannot express how happy and proud I am of you for living your dream and doing an amazing job of it… lots of love to you and your beautiful family. Enjoy and keep smiling. Xx”

“Sorry I couldn’t say goodbye xxx You were being fabulous in an interview! Xxx Brilliant evening. Thank you so much for inviting me xxx”

“We had a lovely time with you last night… and of course catching up with people we haven’t seen in so long! Thank you so much for inviting us, we loved it. Wishing you success darling.”

“Hi darling you were amazing last night. I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye but just wanted to say I’m sooo proud of you hun you are truly a wonderful person and I’m glad we are friends…”

“What a wonderful evening! You simply radiate love and happiness… long live Miramare… you made that happen. So deserved.”

“Darling you are amazing It was a wonderful evening, loved every minute…”

“Dearest Soulla you really know how to pull off an event… so much fun, so much love. Wish you everything and more as you launch your book… and the food was delicious!”

I am so full of love and joy that it has taken me a while to come back down to earth but I just had to record the buzz and the pure life of this night. Honestly, when you are surrounded by so much love, it makes you dizzy with happiness. I will be eternally grateful to everyone who came and celebrated with me, a mass of smiles, hugs, laughter and the most beautiful VIBRANT IMAGINATIVE PEOPLE!

There’s so much I still want to say but know your time is precious and, over the next few days, I will post some more highlights across my social media for you. And if you’re anything like me you still have Christmas and all the wonderful festive “buzzivities” that go with it to be thinking about so I will stop here.

I wish you and your family a wonderful season of goodwill, love and many blessings… and I hope you get what you wish for under the tree.

Lots of love always,

Soulla xxx
