Brona signing copies of new book in Tesco
LOCAL author Brona Mills will be signing copies of her new book ‘A Time for Everything’ in te Tesco Extra Store in Drogheda on March 17th from 12pm onwards.
Stamullen resident Brona overcame dyslexia to pen her first book which is already winning rave reviews and is now stocked in a number of major Tesco outlets as well as bookshops throughout the local area.
The story centres around 20-year-old Michael and his relationship with time traveller Audrey. Audrey has information that can improve his life but faces the dilemma of what things in life should be left to fate.
It is also available in ebook form on Amazon where it has received very positive reviews.
It’s a dream come true for Brona who struggled with English throughout school as a result of her undiagnosed dyslexia and failed the subject in her Leaving Cert.
She went on to study law and do a masters in criminology but despite a hugely successful academic career, her failure in English was something which always rankled Brona.
‘It wasn’t until college that I was diagnosed with dyslexia and got the proper support for that. I had that life feeling of ‘I have failed’. I knew that if I had had the right support in place I would have passed,’ Brona told the Drogheda Independent previously.
I felt that the book was something I could finish at my own pace. The more I got into it the more I felt I could finish it and publish it and put it out there for the world to judge.’
Following the birth of her first child, Brona had the ‘ bones of an idea’ for a novel and decided to put her ideas down.
‘I wanted to make it different and I thought about what’s going to make people want to read about these characters and that’s where the time travel element came in and it just kind of evolved from there,’ she explained.
Once the book was complete, Brona approached Amazon who published a digital ebook edition for the kindle. Not one to rest on her laurels, Brona has already finished her second book which is expected to be published shortly.
