This is surreal, still. I did that thing…that ‘write a book’ thing and it’s actually becoming a reality.
Last week I received the go-ahead from my publisher to share the cover art for the book (see below) about my mother’s life, “Surviving Sue”. Over the past several months, I’ve dropped a mention here and there about the editing process, the tediousness and trepidation of writing about family and now I’m nearly there.
“Surviving Sue” will be available for pre-sale from the publisher’s website in June and I’ll post more details about that when the time comes. For now, I’m doing my due diligence…sharing the cover with the hope that some of you will stick with me over the next few weeks as I blog about the book and a few behind-the-scenes ‘untold stories’.
I love that so many of my friends have interests in writing about family and I agree it’s a delicate topic. However, I’ve grown to embrace the importance of storytelling as a means to encourage others. Families are messy, families are complex and mine certainly was. But underneath the madness sat love and positive regard. Angels were everywhere when I needed help and “Surviving Sue” is as much a true tale of resiliency as it is a love letter.
Thank you, blogging buddies, for your interest and support.
Vicki 😊
