Coming Soon!

Have you ever procrastinated on a project for reasons you don't fully understand at the time? That is the case with the publication of Pandemic Baby - Letters to My Grandson Before He Could Read. If the finished book is released by March 2025, and I hope it will be, it will have taken five years to complete. 

Through the slow process of eight deep revisions, the story morphed from a simple, often humorous, and always loving memoir about becoming a grandmother during the COVID pandemic to a statement on the condition of the world my grandson was born into during the first Trump presidency. Now Trump has been re-elected.

Pandemic Baby takes us back to a time we may want to forget but never should. I do not want a repeat of the pandemic years or of the first Trump term. That is not the world I want my grandson or his generation to grow up in, to inherit as young adults. We cannot allow ourselves the luxury of denial or oversimplification, of ignoring the hardships we endured, of convincing ourselves that it's over. It's not. 

This memoir began as my mode of coping. Four years later, I still write letters to Jack, letters he may never read, but writing still helped me find my center as we dealt with another turbulent election and now face another period of extreme discord. Perhaps that explains my procrastination, perhaps my fear of what lies ahead has slowed down my willingness to release this book. But we can't let fear stop us, can we?

I do not have a release date, but I do have a cover! Perhaps you remember this image from a prior post.
