Jorja Lovett: My Precious...

Aren't they beautiful? I think I'm in love. I just can't stop stroking them. My first solo print books, and I've waited such a long time to have this dream come true.

I have my parents to thank for starting me on this journey. They were both big readers, and, instead of pocket money, they used to take me each week to pick out a Ladybird book. I was especially taken by The Garden Gang series, and jealous of Jayne Fisher, the nine-year-old author.

My mum also kept me loaded up with Enid Blyton books until my little bookcase was heaving at the seams. Creative writing was my favourite subject at school, and I went on to win quite a few prizes for my stories.

I was about nine when the film Back to the Future came out. I went to see it five times in the cinema. One of the things I took away, apart from my Michael J Fox obsession, was how exciting that scene with George McFly was at the end. You know, the one were he receives a big box of his own books!

I read a piece on Enid Blyton that said she found her first success with articles in magazines. So, I duly started sending letters in to comics and girls' magazines at my own expense. At the age of eleven I got my first taste of publication with a letter published in Jackie, and a cheque for the grand amount of seven pounds. It was all very exciting and over the years I found I had a knack for letter writing, getting my name in such illustrious publications as Smash Hits, The Beano and The Manchester United Magazine.

Being a writer was the only career I ever wanted, yet, bar one short story published in that's life magazine, it wasn't a viable option for financial security. I put the whole notion on the back burner while real life intervened, like having lupus and two babies with phenylketonuria.

After my mum died a few years ago, I started back on the writing path. I met my crit group, and the rest is history. I had one goal, to get published. With a lot of time, effort, and fun along the way, I had my first ebook published two years ago. I was thrilled, but soon I had a new dream. I wanted to hold a copy of one of my books in my hand. This week my dream came true. I had my own George McFly moment.

The excitement of opening that box was so great, I still haven't taken them out. I can relive the moment anytime I choose lol
