uncomfortably numb 2 named finalist in national indie excellence awards

My publisher shared with me some excellent news this week: Uncomfortably Numb 2: An Anthology for Newly-Diagnosed MS Patients was a finalist in the Health-General category for this year’s National Indies Excellence Awards.

I share the honor with the breathtakingly honest contributors to this book whose stories exuded raw authenticity:

It’s my hope that those who pick up Uncomfortably Numb 2 will find comfort, valuable information, and the knowledge that they are not in this alone. There’s a whole army of folks out there who’ll have your back.

publishing news: memoir coming in spring 2020

August 2019 book promo

The memoir on which I’ve been working for several years, Uncomfortably Numb, is being published by Wyatt-MacKenzie Publishing in the spring of 2020.

While chronicling the onset of symptoms that ultimately led to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, Uncomfortably Numb tells the story of not only finding an uneasy peace with the permanent uncertainty of living with a chronic illness, but also of coping with the premature death of one’s mother and the ensuing collateral emotional damage.

Here’s the Publishers Marketplace announcement of the deal:
