Episode 148: Sometimes you just have to write the book that you want to read! My Italian book Story…
Welcome to Episode #148:
Today I share some of the background details of publishing my new books. In the Shadow of a Cypress is now available in print and that is its kind of beautiful thing. I am excited to share some of the stories and adventures of getting to this place on the journey. I remembered that, really this was the type of book I would have loved to read, so I wrote it. It was a work in progress, a bit like me. But as they say, it is the journey not the destination. So enjoy this personal share about writing my books and putting them out there in the world!
