During my time of being housebound and bedbound for eight years&#8230;I perfected the skill of being chronically ill with Lyme disease. Although graduation (AKA complete recovery) is yet to be found&#8230;I am delighted to say that day release is permitted. With my health greatly improved, I have decided to share what a life with Lyme is really like through my characters Joyce, Aunt Beth and Logan.<\/p>\n<p>Writing is something I have always been passionate about. I adore words and there ability to hold so much power! I can&#8217;t wait to see where my next piece of writing takes me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-379\" src=\"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/106581908_1398721096988195_4990373369484495904_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I currently work to raise awareness of Lyme disease, through Finding Joy, by giving talks, interviews and book signings at schools, festivals, universities and charity organisations etc. If you&#8217;d like me to come and speak to a group then please feel free to get in touch through the link provided below, whether it\u2019s a business engagement or if you just fancy sending me your thoughts on my novel \u2013 I\u2019d be delighted to hear from you!<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to reach me by email then please go to my contact page <a href=\"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/?page_id=8\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also follow my adventures by clicking on the following:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/morvenmay_author\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MorvenMay\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/morvenmay\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/morven-may-maccallum-2836b11b4\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you&#8217;ve probably guessed, my name is Morven-May MacCallum and I\u2019m from the beautiful and sunny Highlands of Scotland (Ok, the sunny part might be wishful thinking!) and this is my website where I will talk about all the things which are important to me &#8211; from my recovery and awareness campaign to my adoration&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/?page_id=5\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">About<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":382,"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/morven-may.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
