Dear friends, I’m excited to share the news with you that my first book, “The Heart of the Matter,” is scheduled for release November 11, 2018. Even though the delivery date for my “baby” is a few months off yet, it’s been under construction for over a year already. Can you imagine how uncomfortable I’d be by now if this were an actual pregnancy?

As I’ve poured my time and heart into this creation, I’ve heard quite a number of writers compare the process of writing a book to that of giving birth. But the parallel to parenting that I’ve seen most keenly is that “it takes a village” to launch a book. Over this past year, I’ve learned to ask for and welcome feedback on my writing and to gratefully accept assistance with elements of the process I had no clue about when I started. I’ve come to know and love many gracious writers who, like more experienced parents, have generously shared their knowledge and wisdom with those of us who are just beginning.

I’m grateful for the community of friends who’ve been with me on my journey so far, and I’m grateful and delighted that you’ve chosen to join me on this adventure now.
