One month
It was just over a month ago that we crammed all of those boxes into our Explorer on a frigid January day. Since that day my focus has been on sharing the books. It has been so much fun to talk with people who’ve read it and hear their thoughts. I have been especially moved…

Holding the first copy
While I was enjoying time with family on Thanksgiving day a UPS delivery alert popped up on my phone to tell me the first copies of the book would be delivered on Friday. I let out a little gasp of joy, mingled with just a hint of disappointment that I wouldn’t be home when they…
