Through writing October I have succeeded in telling my own story. I would prefer it though if October becomes more of an exchange between people. In other words, I want to do more than merely sell my book. I want people to participate – to tell their own stories.

My novel deals with loss, making peace with that loss and facing life again. It is also about appreciating the people in our lives – those that are still there, those that are gone. On this page I want to invite readers to take the time and think about someone or something that you’ve lost, or someone that means a lot to you.

It can be in the form of a name, a date or even a story. You can leave your name or choose to stay anonymous. The choice is yours. When I have collected enough stories, I want to do something visual with it – I could exhibit it, put it up at one of the launches, etc.

So here is your chance to commemorate someone or something important in your life.
