It’s Still Surreal When I See My Book
A friend messaged me on Facebook the other day to send me a screen shot of this advertisement:

Yep. That’s my book. I even saw it on a shelf in Target once! And I usually find it in Barnes & Noble, and at the great indy store that hosted my book launch – and they’ve had to reorder boxes of it twice now! How cool is that??
Guys, I’m officially a published author. I really am. I know it’s been nearly a year now, but I still pinch myself. And I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you all!

He didn’t bother me last night . . .

Whether that was out of respect for my pain, or anger at my outburst, I don’t know. Today, I am still hollow, but the empty places are slowly being filled with questions.

“It’s because I’m not him . . .”

“I’m the one who survived.”
I shake my head. “That’s not the issue here.”
“Isn’t it?” His eyes are blazing with anger. “You think my way of making a living is beneath you. I’ll never live up to his sainted memory because I’m just not him.”

Sharing Another Aesthetic For DREAMER
I shared this out on Instagram a week or so ago and meant to cross-post over to the blog and just plain forgot. You’ll have to excuse me, but I’m seriously flirting with brain fatigue right now. It’s all good – you’ll hear more about why in tomorrow’s post.
Anyway, here’s the aesthetic, giving you a few more glimpses of what you’ll find in DREAMER – enjoy!

“Jessamyn? Are you out here?”

My mother’s voice carries clearly in the night air. I turn panicked eyes to Finn, who puts a finger to my lips, signaling me to keep quiet. He leaves the finger there, stroking it slowly back and forth as he smiles down at me.
