I’ve just received some wonderful news. I’ve got an official book contract with a small publisher from San Francisco. I’ll be writing a book about parenting in early recovery and it will come out next Spring.

To get paid to do something I love is an honor I cannot completely fathom.

Thanks to all for the ongoing love and support.

In other wonderful news, my beloved younger brother Mark and his beautiful wife Rebecca have a brand new healthy gorgeous baby boy! Welcome little angel!

Also, a reflection on Memorial Day and LBJ’s Great Society

A huge congratulations! I have one unpublished novel that made its way through New York with a great literary agent — nobody picked it up. Novel number two is being sent out to publishers this summer. I totally know what this dream means to you (as am in pursuit myself) and am thrilled. Sobriety is indeed, the answer.

Wow! Good for you and good for all who will encourage and influence.
Not to mention your family, which I am sure will be blessed.
