I have dreamt of this book for ten years. The sequence of events that led to my book contract early in 2024 is as magical as the love story itself (I will tell that part of the story in the book). Of course, any gift in support of the book is appreciated, however, I’ve created a few special categories for those willing and capable of making a larger gift. Each level comes with an added bonus.

As soon as I reach $15K in support (or $2K per month on Patreon), I can begin the manuscript process. I’d like to hit this level as quickly as possible (goal of February 14, Valentine’s Day), so Greenleaf, my publisher, can assign an editor, and we can get to work! The current plan with Greenleaf is to announce the book on July 14, 2025, which will mark our 35th wedding anniversary, with release to follow soon after.
