Release Day!

“The hard part of writing a book 
is writing the book.
The easy part of publishing a book
is writing the book.”

This one’s the result of two years writing the first half, two months writing the other half, then a few more months and considerable expense obsessing it to life. Anne suggested I pick a significant date for release, which is why it’s coming out today: May 1st, 2025 (our 21st wedding anniversary!)

Thanks, Anne, for reading the whole thing multiple times on the installment plan and putting up with my blacked-out weekends of cookies and tea in the studio! In fact, all of my first readers deserve some credit: Your feedback has shaped (and reshaped) the contents of these pages, always for the better. Perhaps even more significant are the chapters I buried in the back yard with your help—it’s dirty work, but a lot easier with a friend. I hope to read your stories someday, if I haven’t gotten to do so yet!
