For personal reasons I took a break to assist my family but have managed to find time to incorporate some other things I haven't prioritized before including volunteering, craft work and fulfilling a lifelong dream to write a children's book that evolved over time to include collaborating with my two grown children, one who helped with the storyline and another who is finishing up the initial inkings of the illustrations. UPDATE (7-2022): After a brief break, a print proof has been sent! Target self-publishing and on-demand availability in August 2022.
