Almost done

My soon-to-be-newest book is almost done - just two or three chapters left to write and (hopefully) my co-author is done at the same time and - away she will go! this one is for and about young adults with cancer and it has been a most interesting and inspiring project. I interviewed close to 20 young adults from Canada and the US to hear their stories - and the grace and generosity I experienced some times kept me up in the early hours of the morning….

I really love the writing part, endure the revision, and enjoy the delayed gratification of waiting for it to come out. There is something really special when I see the galley proofs - and the feel of a new book in my hands is a pleasure that does not dim with repetition. And of course I also enjoy doing the PR stuff afterwards - it just gets better and better…
