“I wanted to take a moment to share something truly special with you—and to express my deepest gratitude for the role you’ve played in making it possible.
Recently, I received a thoughtful review of Mistymoto and the Howling Wind, and while the kind words about the book warmed my heart, it was the journey behind it that I found myself reflecting on most. When I faced a health crisis back in 2017 that led to brain damage from hypoxia during a coma, I never imagined that writing—let alone publishing—would be part of my future. But here I am, not only holding a book in my hands, but seeing it touch readers in ways I once only dreamed of.
Outskirts Press has done far more than publish a book. You’ve rekindled my spirit. Jamie, Elaine—your guidance, encouragement, and belief in my story have helped me rediscover a part of myself I feared was lost. You’ve given me a path forward, one filled with creativity, purpose, and hope.
Thank you for walking this road with me. I’m so proud of what we’ve created together, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”
