Launch Day , October 1, 2021, The Epiphanies Project

 I joined a zoom on-line writing group, The Launch Pad Inner Circle, put together by bestselling author, Anna David, early in the pandemic. Many from that group combined to write The Epiphanies Project: Twenty Personal Revelations. I am included with an essay detailing the moment I decided to go to my first AA meeting--but boy, is this a revealing book by all those who contributed.

The book can be found in Electronic and paperback form. More info? Watch the trailer
