Wow I am completely gobsmacked that I am now sitting here writing this to you all. Before I tell you all my news I would like to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you. The last six months of your support has been incredible and the success of my confessions is something that has completely and utterly shocked and surprised me, I am eternally grateful.
I know that you would have noticed over the last month and a bit that I have slowed down and really stopped posting confessions, I have been inundated with messages from you all asking me what is happening, when the next confession is coming and why I have slowed down...I am really sorry to announce that this will continue to be the case as I have decided to take a step back and stop posting until further notice....
JUST KIDDING!
I am sure most of you just had a heart attack and for that I am sorry but it made me giggle sitting here writing this because I want my news to be as exciting and heart stopping for you all as it has been for me. What I am about to announce would not have been possible without you all and I want you to be the first to know!
Just over a month ago I began discussions with a company about my blog. They have seen the success and the fact that there are so many of you world-wide that have taken to my story and helped it to grow to such an extraordinary length that they were instantly impressed with how my story has captured the hearts of you all and you have followed the journey from the beginning.
I am extremely excited to announce that I have just signed a publishing deal for my first book with the best publishing house in Australia Allen and Unwin.
In January 2015 my first book in what I hope will become a series will be available in hardcopy in ALL major book stores in Australia, in ebook format for the rest of the world and we are also looking at making it available in hardcopy in book stores in the UK.
I sit here with tears streaming down my face as the amount of gratitude to you all for making this a possibility is something that I really cannot put into words.
I want to say a HUGE thank you to the amazing team at Allen and Unwin but especially to my wonderful publisher Claire for believing in the story of Hugh and I and for fighting to make this what we hope will be the next romantic global sensation to take over the world!
I am beyond excited for what the future is to bring and I will continue to be posting confessions as regularly as possible but will also be continuing the story from "Hugh's" perspective to give you something to read....Thank you all so much and I look forward to seeing all of your photos when you finally have a copy of my book in your lovely little hands!
All my love,
xx Ava
Can't wait to read it!! Xoxo
