Hello Friends,


Well, it happened!!! The release of my memoir Climbing Through: A Courageous Story of Grit, Healing and Second Chances, my first book signing at Bird & Jim, and author talk at Tattered Cover in Denver.


It was a joy to sign and chat with the Estes locals at Bird & Jim.  Thank you to my community of Estes Park for such a great turnout at Bird & Jim.  At Tattered Cover, it was fantastic to be surrounded by more Estes locals, Boulder friends, old friends traveling to the area, and new Denver acquaintances. At the author talk, I was delighted to have a conversation partner in Abigail Bliss, who interviewed me for a piece in Westword.


It is a vulnerable position to put your life and writing out to the world—I am so thankful to all who attended for the warm reception and to the eager readers for the positive comments!
