UPDATE: Just found out my book won an honorable mention in its category. Very exciting that my work and story is being recognized!
ORIGINAL POST:
I’m thrilled to share with you that my 2021 book, Dancing With Life, has been nominated in the autobiography category at the San Francisco Book Festival.
Wish me luck—results come out in September. We’ve also entered the Winters Digest Self-published Book Competition, Life Stories category. We’ll hear the news on that in October.
The book lays out my emotional and artistic quest, as I tried to find my footing after a family tragedy. It’s also a travel memoir, following my adventuresome footsteps through Canada, Mexico, the Sierras, Hawaii, England, Portugal, Greece, Morocco and Egypt.
Today I’m known as a dancer, costume designer and Heartbreak to Happiness Grief Coach—and you’ll see in my story where the seeds were planted and when they began to bloom.
Here’s what reader Ian S. had to say:
“I didn’t want the book to end! You have had quite the life, an understatement. You seemed to have taken on this vast world with such gusto and enthusiasm and it’s made you what you are today. And what struck me was that you accomplished so much by meeting challenges head on, despite being self-conscious and uncertain. You embraced all the opportunities with such passion and courage, not letting any of your uncertainties derail you. Down deep inside, you believed in yourself.”
Illustrated with plenty of photos, my life story (at least the first volume!) is available now on Amazon in paperback and Kindle versions.
I hope, if you read the book, you’ll leave your personal feedback on Amazon. Your thoughts mean a lot to me.
