Here we go…. You MUST come & see me on tour!! This is an important book. It’s tackling something that matters, not just in terms of our relationship with the past, but also where we are in the present. On your marks. Get set. Go! linktr.ee/JaninaRamirez

Dear lovely wonderful followers! It’s been six months of keeping quiet (which is not my usual state!) and I know I’ve been hiding off the radar. But I’ve got a big announcement tomorrow at 11am and I’d love it if you’d keep a look out…. Sending love x

Still on this big secret project which I’m just dying to tell you about!! But yesterday I was scaling a cliff face in 40 degree heat in the jungle. It was the hardest days filming I’ve ever done! But my AP just gave the best compliment: β€˜you looked like Lara Croft in a jumpsuit!’

Writing a book is a lot like child birth. Excruciating at the time, but then you look back having blocked the whole process from your memory.

Sometimes I envy the ability of certain writers to command words far more perfectly than I can manage. Ian Dunt, I salute you!! #StupidTrump

Perhaps it’s because I’m excited about filming in India. Or maybe it’s seeing people, both on micro & macro levels, choosing to be good. But I’m really thinking about Karma & how my actions can bring about positivity. I hope I live my life well & that the Wheel of Fortune is kind

That would be so helpful if you wouldn’t mind?? I’m sure you’ll be able to navigate the text better than I and may have a way of searching in Greek? I’ll message more xxx

Super niche call for help. Anyone out there capable of looking through an online 1859 text in Greek? I’m trying to find a specific quote in a text which I have in English. If you have a way of searching it Greek it might be easy?? You’ll have my eternal gratitude & an acknowledgement in new book!!!!
