Hi all!

Please welcome Author Georgina Hannan to my blog today!

What sparked your passion for books and the art of a good story?

Not really, just want them to escape like I did.

What challenges have you faced in your writing career?
Writers block has been a problem sometimes. I would have a free weekend and want to do some writing but just not been in the mood to write or have sat down at my laptop and just thought “how to continue?” even though I know how to continue.

Holding my first ever book in my hands and feeling the pride once I received my reviews.

No
