Description:

The stories in this book are written by people like you who have been shocked and forced to make big changes to their lives due to novel coronavirus that was first recognized in 2019, the powerful COVID-19.
You’ll find many stories here that will make you smile, or nod your head based on shared experiences. A few will make you cry, and others will make you laugh out loud. They cover a wide number of subjects including COVID conspiracy stories and COVID romances, and some writers describe coronavirus mental health impacts. One writer has provided a handy checklist so you can be prepared for the second wave or even another pandemic. Another tells us her story of being trapped in a tiny cabin on the Diamond Princess, the cruise ship quarantined in Japan. The sudden shutdown of the travel industry also affected those who specialized in helping people enjoy their dream vacations and so many others were made to work from home or became unemployed due to the subsequent depression of the economy.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience has both devastated people and unified them. One thing we know is that writing and sharing stories heal.

Grab your copy and enjoy nineteen tales of COVID-19.

Author Details:

Akosua Joy Brown has worked in the publishing industry for over 25 years. She started out working on academic science titles within the UK’s University of London where she edited and wrote books about human exposure to toxins. Since moving back to Canada, she worked with Canada’s largest educational publisher on K-12 non-fiction products. Following that, through her work with one of Toronto’s top international literary agencies, she became an avid editor of fiction. She formed What’s Your Story – Author Services to support writers working in all genres. She helps people write, publish, distribute, and sell their books and is an experienced workshop presenter and facilitator. Akosua is also a best-selling author of many books including a Silver Birch nominated children’s book.

Akosua has seen how important sharing your voice, your story is. It is one way of being seen and heard. But she’s also learned how valuable writing is to understand yourself. To do your best writing, you must feel safe and Akosua excels in creating that space for those around her. She extends that search for feeling safe and being seen, celebrated, and supported through her work with Elvira’s Miracle Magnet Movement. She is excited to be one of the newest mentors. She gained so much from this program that she changed her name to reflect her greater self-love and compassion.

Akosua is a new Hamiltonian. She lives in a lovely century home with two of her six children, her too-loud husband, Paul, their three cats, a highly intelligent and grumpy cockapoo, and a canary called Romeo.
