A New Story to Write

Wow. It’s been a while since I posted so I have some book updates and a life update to share. First, my book has done really well in terms of sales and overall reaction to the content. I have had overwhelming support from friends, family, and strangers alike. This whole experience has really helped me grow and it continues to inspire me to write book #2. I have many, many ideas for this next book but I haven’t decided on a theme just yet. You’ll have to stick around and wait for that ;)

Second, I am working on a project related to If Tears Could Talk that I’m hoping to have completed by the time book #2 is ready to be published (so around July 2023!). It’s a very exciting project and I wish I could say more about it, but I cannot ruin this surprise. I just can’t. Just stay tuned for updates I post on my social media and here on my blog.

Lastly, I am dealing with the worst time of my life. This is not an exaggeration, it’s my current reality. My best friend of 14 years, partner of 5 years, and fiancé of 1.5 years and I are no longer together. We are officially cutting ties so he can discover himself and figure out his path in life. As much as I am trying to be understanding of his need for self-discovery, I am also completely shattered and heartbroken. This is the person I proposed to and hoped to have a family with in the future. We were looking at houses, planning a wedding, and just looking forward to our forever future. Man, did forever come quick.

I’m cycling through many difficult emotions and unfortunately this is impacting my creative process and my ability to post on my blog so I appreciate your patience as I start this new, unexpected chapter in my life story. I know I’ll be okay, it’s just going to take time.

Check out the Poems page for a sample poem from book #2. It’s raining here today so the poem fits the vibe :)
