Update #13 - Coming soon-ish: December 1st! Oct. 9, 2020

Hello family, near and far. 

A quick note to share that my book will be published and on its way to you December 1st! 

I'm proud to have the manuscript in the hands of an editor and currently in the throes of cover design. 

If anyone has connections in the area of book cover design that I can bounce ideas around with, I welcome that connection! 

Like many creative projects, the book has been through a developmental process and is now a mental health based memoir; quite different from what I initially pitched as a concept book with systemic analysis.  Throughout my writing journey a wise soul encouraged me to tell my story and that has brought me to where I am today. 

You'll get to read sooner than later! 

As soon as the book is fit to print I'll be sending a Google Doc version via the email address you provided most likely mid-to late-November if you'd like to start reading before it's done-done.  I'm committing to getting the physical and final digital version in your hands December 1st via Amazon.  I know..I'm not 100% stoked about them either but for a first time, self-publishing gal this is the best option.  

Address update

Please let me know if your physical address has changed since your purchase in August of 2019. I'll send one more reminder for address updates just prior to shipping if you purchased a physical copy.

Audio version update

I am putting all my weight into the physical book and have to postpone the audio version until early 2020. My sincere apologies for this delay for those who purchased the audio version. I will be sending physical copies to you as a starter and following up in January with the Audible download.  

Reviews

I welcome- with open arms- any brief, honest reviews you have to share on Amazon once the book is launched on December 1st. I can send more details on easy steps how to do that if you're not familiar.  

Please let me know if you have any questions, complaints or cute comments. 

Thank you, community. 

I love you. 

With gratitude, 

Ali
