Hi ,

I haven't sent one of these newsletters in about six months. I so appreciate your patience.

You may recall that in my last newsletter (in November), I told you that my husband's stomach cancer had spread to the leptomeningeal areas of his brain and spine. Unfortunately, he passed away three months ago today, on February 23, 2025.

Before his death, in December, we had an incredible 25th-anniversary vow renewal event, gifted to us by Wish Upon a Wedding (an amazing organization). It was the most beautiful day of our lives. Here's a photo from that day:

I miss Jason so much, and I'm so grateful for the quarter-century we spent together.

I'm writing again, but my fiction is currently still on the back burner. I'm working instead on a memoir about learning to hope and grieve on the path to widowhood. Writing it has been so good for my soul through this grieving process, and I'm truly excited to share my experience with the world through this book.

I'd love to send you updates on the memoir. If you're interested in those updates, please sign up here:

I so appreciate all your support for my fiction writing and for me and my family. I hope to return to writing fantasy at some point!
