Lucky Girl
I’ve just received some wonderful news. I’ve got an official book contract with a small publisher from San Francisco. I’ll be writing a book about parenting in early recovery and it will come out next Spring.
To get paid to do something I love is an honor I cannot completely fathom.
Thanks to all for the ongoing love and support.

In other wonderful news, my beloved younger brother Mark and his beautiful wife Rebecca have a brand new healthy gorgeous baby boy! Welcome little angel!
