What makes an author VERY happy? Seeing my book Pulling Through: Help for Families Navigating Life Changing Illness on display, thanks @WstonesEaling ! And is it a sign that I’m placed next to You Deserve to be Rich? I do hope so! @Steve_JKPbooks #carer #SelfHelp #illness

Nature really helped my husband recover from #braininjury and helps me every day as his carer. I absolutely LOVE this little poster inspired by my book! Thank you @NewcombLibrary - I hope it speaks to others too! #CarersWeek @encephalitis @JKPBooks

It’s #carersweek2023 and I’m v excited to be with @NewcombLibrary on a Wednesday. Sharing our experiences honestly is a valuable way to make #carers more visible and valued - one of the reasons for writing my book! Shout out to all my fellow carers - we are superheroes! @JKPBooks

When I became a #carer I found that #writing was massively helpful for my #mentalhealth and I'd really recommend it. Here's why... ins.org.uk/Pages/Category/fo… @JKPBooks @Steve_JKPbooks @ae_society @encephalitis @CarersUK @INS_4Life #WritingCommunity #carersweek #amwriting

Shout out to all the 6.5m carers at the start of #CarersWeek2022! Looking forward to talking about making carers visible and valued at the @INS_4Life event on Thurs with @LBofHounslow, and how writing can be both therapeutic and helpful! @CarersUK @CarersUK @JKPBooks @Harry_JKP
