Releasing a short story collection prior to my debut novel never was part of the original plan, but in hindsight I realize it was the right thing to do. The overwhelmingly positive response to Guilt Trips, which came out about a month and a half ago, and all the congratulatory messages I’ve received have provided more than enough fuel for me to plow through revisions on my novel.

Thank you all for providing the much-needed courage and motivation to get me to that next release date!
