Plugging along

It’s been just shy of two months since James died. I was scrolling Facebook a couple of weeks ago and stumbled upon an unattributed quote that sums up my sadness.
“I believe the hardest part of healing after you’ve lost someone you love is to recover the “you” that went away with them”
There’s still that daily need to text him about things. He would have loved the pickup full of cows. I suppose in time the hollowness will fill back in. In the meantime, all I can do is get up off the couch and get on with it.
And on that note, the new book cover book…

In less than 48 hours, June’s life will go from low-key to ludicrous thanks to a pool of blood, a missing body, slithering creepy crawlies and the imminent incarceration of her famous twin-brother.
Read the 1st chapter now and get 2 and 3 when you join the book release mailing list.
So is it done?
No. But I’m finally back to my 40 hour work. A late summer release is still looking good.
If you feel so inclined, check out the first chapters, sign up for the book announcement list and then drop down to the comments and let me know your thoughts on the cover.
Be safe and happy and Write on,
Melissa

I lost such a big part of myself, too. maybe more than others did because we suffered from the same sickness. he would say he’d call because he needed “to talk to someone NORMAL” our kind of normal! I stillcan’t believe he’s not with us anymore. what the fuck, James, you just abandon ship??? starting to feel better everyday:) be waiting on your next chapters, my friend, write on!
