Broken Dreams

Hi all!

As many of you know by now, I have self-published my first book, Broken Dreams, through the platform Brave New Books. I'm very happy with the end result. I've been working on this book for about two and a half years (minus some long writer's block periods, of course) before it was finally finished and I was satisfied with it. You probably know it's been my dream to publish a book for a long time already and now it's finally happened!

It is available in a Dutch webshop, but it should be possible to order it from abroad as long as you have a creditcard. This is the link to the webshop:
http://www.bol.com/nl/p/broken-dreams/9200000039747832/
If the link doesn't work, you can also simply go to Bol.com and type "Maddy Lanslots Broken Dreams" in the search bar :).

I am currently working hard on promoting my book; I'm selling my own copies, spreading the link to Broken Dreams on Bol.com everywhere, and trying to contact websites and magazines in order to try and have it mentioned or reviewed somewhere. If you guys could perhaps help me spread the word, that would be great - and, of course, I'd love for you to buy it yourself!

Aside from everything to do with Broken Dreams, I'm working on my self-esteem issues, too. I've been talking to some people, I'm taking yoga classes, and I'm going to do an online course for more self-confidence. I'm not there yet, but getting there - at least I'm working on it now.

Let me leave you all with a quote I love:

"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." 
~ Albert Einstein
