The Honor Was Mine - Coming Sept. 2016

Dear Friends,


I’m so very pleased to let you know The Honor Was Mine, my book about counseling combat veterans, has just gotten a contract for publication. I truly couldn’t be happier. Wild thanks to Renee Fountain of Gandolfo Helin & Fountain Literary Management – she’s been terrific to work with; I am ever-grateful she understood the heart of the book.


Release date is Sept. 2016 (go ahead . . . I’ll wait while you mark your calendar).    : )
Thanks to all who’ve been supportive along the way. I hope these soldier stories are just getting started on their journey.

CONGRATULATIONS!! 🙂 The test strip is blue with a + sign. Yay. You’re having a book! Hope you have time and energy to celebrate. Honored to cheer with and for you. No rushing. Well still be there, impatiently pacing and alerting all our contacts to pre-order. So proud that your message will get out there. Standing by and grinning. Great job staying with the process, E.

Congratulations, E! These stories were meant to be out in a word that sorely needs them. Your intuition, empathy, dedication to your craft and perseverance have resulted in a book that can have great impact on how we understand and support our veterans. So proud of you and the personal work you did to be able to create this.
