New Book Announcement: Here Be Dragons – Available Now for Preorder!
It’s officially time to share that my new book Here Be Dragons: Treading the Deep Waters of Motherhood, Mean Girls, and Generational Trauma will be released in February 2025. As you can tell by the subtitle, this is just a light, breezy book.
Oh I kid. Writing this book nearly killed me. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It brought up feelings and memories that I really preferred to stay buried way down deep because digging up all your painful childhood memories is a one star experience. Do not recommend.
This is not the book I planned to write when I signed the contract for it way back in 2023. But life comes at you fast and God did what God often does and changed my plans. Now that it’s finished, I’m so thankful that he did. However, while I was writing it, I cried a lot of tears and argued with him several times about it.
It’s the story I always knew I’d tell one day but didn’t know when that day would come.
As it turns out, it’s now.
This is my story of leaving behind the dysfunction I was born into to become who God created me to be. It’s about the strength God will give you to break the generational cycles you don’t want to repeat and to fight every dragon you will face. The ultimate message of this book is that nothing is so broken that God can’t heal and redeem it.
This is my sixth book, but I will tell you it feels like the book I was always meant to write. My hope is that you will find encouragement and healing within these pages. And, also, that you’ll laugh every now and then because the upside of childhood trauma is that it sometimes makes you funny.
You can find the official book page for Here Be Dragons here. You can go ahead and preorder a copy from your favorite book retailer, which is the absolute best way to support an author because it tells your publisher that they can print more than ten copies and not worry that they’ll end up sitting in an abandoned warehouse somewhere.
You can also sign up on the book page to receive the first chapter for free so you’ll know what you’re getting into and, hopefully, want to read more when the book comes out in February.
Thank you for all the love and support over the years. And thanks for supporting this book as it gets ready to make its way out into the world. I couldn’t be more grateful.
