I'm excited. I can barely keep my thoughts together to write this post. My final edit is coming back on Saturday.

The next step is to get Advance Reader Copies out for professional and public reviews.

It has been a long time coming with this project. For 18 years, I took notes from Arlinda. In the past 14 years, I have been editing, sequencing, and shaping the notes to make a narrative completing to someone who had not known her or me directly.

I can now see the project coming to a close. I have set the date of August 27, 2026 as the publishing date. It is more than three months away, but there is still a lot to do. I am using this time to build the audience for the biography, For Once in My Life.

If you are interested in getting an Advance Reader Copy, please comment with ARC. You can also add more information about what interests you in the project. I will send you a link when the manuscript is ready for your review. And thank you in advance for your interest.
