I LOVE heirloom tomatoes, and you’ve inspired me to want to start from seed with them as you have.

I started writing my novel in 2022, rewrote it in 2023, and spent the better part of this year querying it. After considering a contract with a hybrid publisher, I took the leap last week to self-publish and launch at a big writer’s conference in February. I have a cover design in process, a copy edit in process, a publicist deciding whether to break her own rule and work with an indie, and I learned the typesetting tools yesterday. So much to do!

We currently have five pets, and I’ve had many cats and dogs throughout my life. There was a golden retriever we got when I was 4 that slept on my bed and passed away when I was 16 that was like losing a sibling. And a cat I got when I moved into my first apartment after college that slept on me until she was 16. It’s so hard to let go of them, but I agree their heaven is being loved on earth.
