For everyone who thought they’d have until 2022 for my next book, I’m sorry or you’re welcome, whichever applies

I am beyond proud of the amount of work I’ve put in along with fantastic teams of people who care deeply about books for us to be able to bring you five consecutive books in five consecutive years across four genres.

I miscounted the genres at first, but this feels like a solid foundation to the body of work I’ve always aimed for

It took me a long time to come around to being disabled for reasons I discuss in the piece, but as with everything in my life, I had to approach it spiritfirst. I’m very grateful that it has led me to even more tenderness with myself and others.
