When I was young, I dreamed of one day writing a book. I started my writing career as a freelancer and later tried my hand at fiction, but I quickly learned that was not my strength. I continued to write feature stories for a wide range of publications, always with the gnawing in my mind that I really needed to get that book written.

Fast forward several decades, and my memoir Emptying the Nest: Getting Better at Goodbyes (Ten16Press) is coming out. It took much longer than I would have ever expected and is seeing the light of day nearer to my golden years than my teen years, when the dream first emerged.
