I was not sure that I could write another book. I've had some mental health problems, and it made me doubt who I was, what I am capable of, and whether what I had to say was worth saying.

The book I've finished, though, is strange and sad and frightening, and it is sweet. It is MORE than I had in mind when I sat down to write it, and I am left with the feeling that maybe I can reassess some of my harsher doubts. And that is a good feeling.

It is called "This House is Ours." And it will be a while before it is "finished" and published, but I wanted to thank you for reading parts and pieces as I worked on this, and to tell you I wouldn't have been able to write this book without your help. I will post some more sections soon.

Yes!!! I'm so excited!!! I love your writing, I feel like we grew up and became adults together. Your wordsmithing is like a warm cape; sometimes comforting, sometimes letting the cold in with a blast at the front, but always over my shoulders as a part of both my style and armor. You are enough. Your work has value. You mean so much to so many. Thank you for sharing pieces of you with us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
