A Gift From the Author

Chapter One — The Rooms We Inherited

The opening chapter of the book, sent directly to your inbox. Check your email — it is often the first thing in.

Get Chapter One

What Follows

A quiet itinerary.

The email arrives.

Check your inbox within a few minutes — Chapter One will be the first to land. If it strays into the promotions folder, pull it into the main one. Books belong on the shelf.

II.

Read slowly.

The first chapter is 22 pages. I recommend an hour with no phone nearby, a warm drink, and the window cracked open. The book rewards the patient reader.

III.

Launch week arrives.

On 30 April 2026 you will receive the launch-week invitation — a discounted hardcover, signed bookplate upon request, and the tour-date announcement for your city.

Thank you for believing in a book before it exists. That is its own kind of love — and the kind I wrote about.
