LOVE AND LOSS OF A PARENT by @Sue Anderson-Stevens ABOUT THE BOOK... When Sue Anderson-Stevens lost both of her parents, everything changed. In Love and Loss of a Parent, she shares her deeply personal journey through grief and the powerful truth she discovered: while loss reshapes you, it does not have to define you. Through honest reflection, practical activities, and a gentle four-stage framework, Sue guides readers to honour their past while consciously becoming who they are now. This is not about going back to who you were before. It is about moving forward with courage, intention, and love. The next version of you is waiting. ➡️ Buy it here ⬅️

Yesterday I officially launched my book Love and Loss of a Parent and I’m still blown away by the support 💜 We had over 80 people attend the launch and sold 80 books on the night. The room was filled with connection, emotion, support and so many meaningful conversations. As someone completely new to this world, I’m incredibly grateful for communities like this one that encourage people to put their work out into the world and back themselves. This book was written to help people navigating the loss of a parent feel less alone, and seeing the response on the night reminded me why taking the leap was worth it. Thank you for all the encouragement and inspiration along the way 💜

Get my 50 page Playbook with the secrets & strategies to getting book reviews consistently! In 72 hours, I'm releasing this Indie author's complete guide to book reviews. It's a step-by-step playbook where you will learn how to: - Build an ARC team from scratch — even with zero email subscribers — and walk into launch day with 10–20 honest reviews already locked in - Land free editorial reviews (and know exactly when to submit to each) - Save hundreds of dollars by getting a discount with paid review companies that most authors don't know exist - Recruit pre-launch readers using ready-to-paste scripts for email, social posts, and DMs — no awkward asks, no winging it - Turn every "I loved your book!" comment into an actual posted review with one short reply - Find out what the highest-converting review move is in indie publishing, and almost no one uses it - Know exactly which paid review services are Amazon-safe — and which ones get books delisted and accounts banned - Pitch Bookstagrammers, BookTokkers, and book bloggers in your genre with messages they'll actually respond to - Get your book in front of library acquisitions buyers through the four services they actually trust to decide what to stock - Follow a unified launch calendar that maps every action from six months pre-launch through six weeks post — no guesswork, no missed windows - Pick the right path for your book with two complete worked-example strategies — one for fiction, one for non-fiction — instead of cobbling together generic advice Everything you need to stop launching in silence and start launching with momentum is in this playbook. Honestly, it's INVALUABLE for every author releasing a book—with the most up-to-date information at your fingertips! Before this goes live, I'm offering it FREE to the first 10 people to reply to me while we're still in the formatting stage before release.
