Well, it is hard to believe that my journey to write my first book is coming to a reality. I actually received the very first copy ever of my book, the proof copy, only a couple of days after the electronic file was uploaded into the system.
It has been an incredible journey, writing this book. It was nothing like I could have ever imagined. I thought I was just going to sit in my home, conduct research, and write a book. I knew one family of the women featured in this book, so I knew I would get some good inside information from her family. This family and another friend of mine who was murdered were the impetus for me to write this book. I could use my writing to help people.
Once I started posting on social media about the book, however, I had many people reach out to me - former law enforcement officers, friends of several of the murdered women, and witnesses. It was unbelievable! Their contributions made the book what it is. I really appreciate everyone who contributed.
The experience was life changing for me. I was so motivated to finish this book with all of the support I was receiving. I knew there would be skeptics, but with the families behind me it didn't matter what anyone else thought. I have made friends with these families and I am so blessed God brought them into my life.
So, it's a couple of weeks (November 16, 2024) until the book launch party and the first book signing at the Hood County Library. This is so special to me because I grew up attending the summer reading camps at the library in the 1970s and 1980s! It has come full circle. Never would I have imagined that one day I'd have a book in the very same library I grew up visiting as a child. To God be the glory!
