Book Released!!!

Thank you to all who have followed my blog, I hope you will continue to. Yesterday I published "Crazy On The Inside, A Memoir of Nobody Special". It is available on Amazon and KU and although it is similar to the blog it is also very much different and more detailed in my adventures.

I appreciate all who have helped and supported me, if you decide to get the book then I would like to extend my gratitude and if you decide not to and meet me back here for entires then I appreciate that too.

January will be 5 years since I started this blog...I'll get back to it as soon as a little of the dust settles and I figure out my sites.

Thank you again...much love and appreciation.

Available in paperback and ebook!

Running...But Not Away X

Final edits arrive tomorrow and then all that's left is formatting before I upload my manuscript onto Amazon. My cover is done and I couldn't be happier. I designed my vision and hired an artist to bring it to life...it's all so unreal. Years before I ever opened my marriage or had my youngest I wrote on a piece of paper that I would call my book "Crazy on the Inside, A Memoir of Nobody Special", always feeling that way because I never fit in but never knowing exactly how I would address it or come to terms with it...and then I changed my life and the pieces all fell into place. It's almost like I was writing the book in reverse.

I've started to research book festivals and trade shows all over the world. I gave up the agent so now it's all up to me to market and sell my story...and it's worth every last breath just to be able to tell my truth rather than their lies.

Running...But Not Away IX

I closed the blinds today. The ones that look at my neighbours house...I closed them. I don't think I ever closed them, always afraid it wold make me a prisoner in my own home I left them open for the others to be uncomfortable and never give an inch. I closed them because leaving them open only hurts both and I don't want to contribute to that any longer. I keep thinking that if I would have prayed and wished for them to do better then I wouldn't be looking at them again...but here they are. I want to forget I ever knew them, I want to forgive all the trauma they caused us and more than that I just want to move on...for everyone to be able to move on.

The wheels of my writing are moving, even if they are grinding. I was asked to be a contributing writer for another woman's book...she's famous. I don't know if they will choose my essay but I was asked to submit one so I wrote one and emailed it last week.

I was back in NY last week and met up with Joseph, it was nice to know we could still laugh together and be friends. He looked good, happy and healthy like he used to be. We had dinner and wandered through the city laughing while remembering all the fun we had over the past few years.

Now I sit and look out my back window waiting on final edits, it's so close to being able to fly...
