Fascinating question. In a fictional book world, we can create anything that we imagine. That gives us endless possibilities. It would be a place where beauty overwhelms us, where there is peace, respect, and unconditional love. What would I do there? It would be such fun to be creative, yet scientific at the same time. Perhaps I could be part of a group of people who create new possibilities and use the book as a platform to teach others.

"Jackson" is a story of two main characters who are tested by the challenges of mental illness - a mother and her adult son. June and Jackson came to be after many interviews and meetings with both parents of teenagers and adults with mental illness and parents who fought heartache and anguish as they tried to save their children from their demons. "Jackson", although fictional, portrays what every family lives with when faced with the unthinkable. Hope and love can prevail. The launch date is October 22nd, 2020. Watch for a Goodreads Giveaway!

(view spoiler)[The book I am working on now was inspired by one of those "aha" moments. I found many hand written letters that were written between myself and family members in my younger years. Reading these letters took me quite aback. Let's just say that my memories and perceptions are in no way validated by the content of these letters. They provide evidence of a very different reality!

Life. The ups and downs, new and old ... I am continuously reflecting on why things happen. What's the meaning of what is happening? What am I supposed to learn from this? How can I help others? It's those life lessons that inspire me to write, even when I don't know the answers to the questions asked.

I am in the midst of completing revisions to the second edition of "Steering Through It". I asked readers for feedback - What did you want to learn more about? What was missing? Thanks to you, I hope to have launch the new edition this summer!
I am also working on new project. It's in "the works" and we'll see what the future brings.
