The book is currently in the final stages and in the hands of Victory Editing. I will probably have it back by mid-September or later, and October will be spent finalizing the eBook and print versions. I’m going to launch on November 1, 2018, and will have it up for pre-sale from all vendors in early October.

The newspaper stated the coroner’s report came back as, “hanging whilst in a state of unsound mind.” The situation has caused much conjecture on my part and a few of our relatives as to why she took her own life.
All my best,
Vicki
