Blog Lucky 7 Challenge

I have been passed my Lucky 7 by the talented Debz-Hobbs Wyatt, writer, my friend, business partner, conscience and my favourite dog-owner. (Rosie's Mum to be exact!)

No one answered.

“Do you know yourself?” asked Mrs Cohen gently.

“It’s to do with me being Jewish,” stammered Renate.

On to the Next Seven
So the final task is to pass this Lucky Seven on to seven authors. I hope you'll all carry on following me!
