Caring Moments is HERE!
Yes, our sequel to Stolen Moments has arrived back from the printers and I am looking at the stack of boxes as I type. I might be biased, but I have to say, 'It's looking good.'
If you were one of writers selected to have your story or poem included in the book, I just want to let you know that your complimentary copy will be in the mail within the week.
If you didn't have a story or poem included in Caring Moments I encourage you to buy a copy through our online store because the book won't be in the bookstores till February 2010.

Great News!
Tuesday 20th October
Yes, it's official the sequel to 'Stolen Moments' has finally arrived at the printers.
Despite us thinking in August that there was no way there could be any more hold-ups, there were. But with the book finally at the printers Pam and I can breathe a huge sigh of relief. We are still allowing a month till we get to hold the actual book in our hot little hands, but after the wait of the past months I am sure the time will pass quickly.
Back on track
Tuesday 25th August
Great news! We've received feedback on the required alterations we need to make to the practical information and tips section of Caring Moments in order to get the backing of Alzheimer's Australia. Which means (drum roll please) we are now back on track and able to progress with the book.
Stay tuned for another positive update soon.
