Jennie 'Bellestar' Matthias

I AM NOW OFFICIALLY AN AUTHOR AND IT FEELS REALLY GOOD.

I cannot tell you all how excited I am to be sharing this information with you. I am now an author and I am made up to add this into my list of achievements, if I can do it so can you all as I do believe that every one has a book inside them. This book is a self help book that touches on my life and how I got myself out of certain predicaments. It is aimed at anyone seeking positive change within their lives. A huge thank you has to go to my wonderful mentor Author Michelle Watson who has assisted me in this journey as an author, there's not a chance I would have done it without her. Madscotsman for the front cover and all of you for your support over the years. THANK YOU so much. This book is on Breakfree Publishing.

LOVE Jennie Matthias

SURVIVING THE STORM is Jennie's debut book written from a life's experience and aimed at helping those who have gone through childhood trauma. It is all about encouraging the reader ti embrace their pains so as they can then go on to use it as a tool for self development. It is the prequel to her Autobigraphy. Jennie will be reading an excerpt from the book at the "Women Be" event for female entreprenuers.
