Celebrating the Launch of ‘The Palliative Horse’ by A.S. Williams

Natalia de Smalen interviews author of The Palliative Horse, A.S Williams. AKA Ange

Dear Reader,

I wanted to share these photos and film with you so that you get a taste of what a wonderful event my book launch was. It did boost my spirit to sell all my book copies and have such engaged visitors. The morning after I awoke to a house full of flowers and warm memories. So much so that I remarked to Frank that I felt happy. Waking up in a positive mood is not always easy after a terminal diagnosis so the distraction of writing the book, publishing and celebrating it has done me a world of good. Weekly chemotherapy keeps me on my feet for now, as do enjoyable and nourishing activities.

I would like to thank all attendees and people who helped the event run smoothly, and the Maughan family, and Louise Ferguson for the film and photos. If you were unable to come to the launch then the book is still available on Amazon. Or if you live in Nijmegen it is for sale at Dekker van de Vegt.
