Hello, everyone! I'm excited to let you know that the book is with the illustrator, and she's working diligently on creating artwork that captures the essence of my essays and poetry. Her drawings will be whimsical, heartwarming, silly, melancholic.

Meanwhile, I continue to edit and proofread, so that you have the best book possible. My goal with this book is for you to feel like you're hanging with a good friend while she tells you stories about her life. It pairs well with coffee for that reason. I can't wait until it's out so you can enjoy my life tales with a rich cup of joe!
