Into the unknown...

 Well folks, I did it. I stepped off that ledge, into the unknown, and now... I have a published book!

From Voiceless To Vocal is now available for purchase in both eBook and paperback format. The paperback is also available for expanded distribution so contact your local bookstores if possible. Shop small!

The last 24 hours have been completely bonkers and I can't even believe it's real. 5 months ago I started writing because I just felt my story needed to be told. I never thought anything would ever come of it and really just needed to write it for myself. The more I got into it, however, the more I realized that people could actually benefit from it. People were relating to it and telling me how it made them think about their own traumas, their own relationships, and their own lives.

My story is not unique, but if it helps other people find their voice then it will have been worth it. If I can somehow be the voice for the voiceless, for those that are still struggling, then that's what I'll do.

People may think that 5 months is very fast to write and publish a book... and they'd be right! The thing to realize, though, is that while it was 5 months from first pages to publication, this book has been years in the making. It's been years of journaling and talking to friends and coming to grips with everything that I've been through in my life. The only reason I was able to write and complete it so quickly is because I'd already been working on it in my head for so long.

I don't have much else to say at the moment except thank you. Thank you to everyone who helped me. Thank you to everyone who supported me. Thank you to everyone who reads this blog, really. If it weren't for this blog, the book never would have happened.
