UntilIFindYou-GUESTBLOG-FB When asked, “What do you do?” sometimes I pause and assess. Sure, I am a published author. I run a business for writers who want to become published. I am a podcast host. I’m an editor. I’m a consultant. I’m a yogi, a meditator, a breathwork aficionado. I’m a plant-based eater. I’m an athlete. I’m a homeschool mom. I’m a wife.

But at the core of everything, I’m a writer.

As a child, I started as a reader first and quickly morphed into writing. I wrote to capture my days in tiny hardbacked diaries with locks and keys. I wrote letters, stories, and poems. With every upset or victory, I wrote.

I wrote when I got made fun of. I wrote when I won awards. I wrote through endless trips to the ER. I wrote after winning gymnastics competitions. I wrote through sexual assault. I wrote through brain surgery. I wrote through my first marriage and divorce. I wrote books. I wrote for prisoners. I wrote between books. I wrote blogs. I wrote articles. I wrote love letters.

Every single day, I wrote.

For me, there is rarely a separation between being a writer and living my life. Even if I can’t sit down and create fiction, I’m still writing: for my clients, in sweeping book proposals; for my daughter, in tiny good morning letters; for my husband, in a quick scribble with a dry erase marker on our mirror.

I process life through words…and for me, I’m entangled. From the time I rise and journal, to the time I go to bed and read…

I’m a writer first.

About The Book

Publication Date: August 11th 2020

Until I Find You Soon, Rebecca Gray won’t be able to see. Diagnosed in her twenties with a degenerative eye disease, each day her world grows a little darker. She’s moved to the suburbs to raise her son, Jackson. In the wake of her husband’s death, it should be a quieter, easier way of life. It won’t be.

The Moment That Changes Everything

When Bec awakes after fainting in the park, she makes promises to start taking better care of herself. When her son begins to cry, she approaches the crib. Reaches in. Picks him up. But he’s not her son.

The Search

There’s nothing Bec won’t do to find Jackson. But she’s a blind woman in a world where seeing is believing. The police think she’s confused. Her friends don’t see any differences. Relying on the conviction of her instinct and the power of a mother’s love, Bec must push the limits of her world to uncover what happened to her baby boy…and bring him home for good.
