I'm going to be a published author!

Thanks to twenty-four generous donors, I'm going to be able to publish my first book this fall. 

This is a life-long (read: thirty-year) dream coming true for me.  I think I'm in a bit of shock.  It doesn't quite feel real.

As it turns out, I've ended up with the perfect number of donors, thanks to some people donating on behalf of others.  I will write thirty stories/poems, one for each year of my life.  I hope to have the collection completed by August.  Know what that means?  Writing two to three pieces per week, starting now.  It's ambitious, and I can hardly wait.

I owe tremendous thanks to all my donors, and I will thank them (again and again), but I'm also grateful to all of the folks who led me, little by little, to the belief that I had a voice worth hearing.  There are too many of you to count. 

Once the book is published, I'll post a link to it on this website.  In the meantime, if you have any questions or suggestions, do let me know. 

Much love to all of you.
