Thank You.
From These Small Bright Beginnings
to the Book Launch Ahead
A bright reminder that progress comes in clusters, not leaps.
I chose this picture for a reason. There’s something about those bright red berries, small, tough, and growing anyway, that felt right for this moment. This book project has been a long season of gathering what I could, holding on through setbacks, and trusting that something would eventually take shape. And now, it finally has.
I want to thank every single person who helped me get this far. Your support through GoFundMe, plus messages, and through simple belief has carried Crackmask further than I ever could have managed alone.
It took me a while to write this update because I wanted to wait until I could say, with certainty, that I finally have enough to publish the book. That moment arrived only recently. I sold my old car (more “held together by hope” than “classic treasure”), and together with your donations, it gave me the last push I needed.
I couldn’t have done this without you.
Crackmask should be available online and in hard copy by late‑June 2026, still a surreal sentence to type.
Until then, I’m sharing pre‑launch snippets, behind‑the‑scenes notes, and little pieces of the journey on the website, things only followers can see. If you’d like to follow along as this project ripens into something real, you can find it here:

Thank you again for helping this story grow. What you’ve given me isn’t just funding, it’s momentum, courage, and the sense that this strange, stubborn little book is finally ready to be picked.
And I’m glad you’re here for this part of the journey.
