When Mom could no longer manage our standing 4:00 pm phone calls, I started writing notes to her to fill the silence.

It wasn't the best answer, but it was all that I knew to do.

Hi, Honey! is now available.

Whether you are currently sitting in grief or see it in the distance, this book is for you.

That’s what she said.

So excited to get some promo books in the mail while also wondering why I thought learning the art of book wrapping was a good idea.

Thank goodness I’m not that popular.

Of course, I’ll sign it!!

Next time I’m coming through your town and randomly have to (ahem) use the bathroom, I’ll bring a Sharpie.

And maybe some Quilted Northern.
