I started writing Seven Princesses the morning after Trump was re-elected. I knew what Project 2025 had in store for women. I was angry. Sad. Frustrated. And, of course, because I am a woman:

Guilty.

I felt like somehow, this was partly my fault? Like, I, personally, hadn’t done enough to protest, advocate, FIGHT. 

I also felt shame. Like, I wasn’t a good enough woman. I was a divorcee, without children, and stayed in a relationship that humiliated me for nearly two decades because I was too weak to leave it.

Who was I to even think I could be an advocate? 

I wrote all of this down on a couple pages, not really knowing where it would take me. Two years later, it would turn into this book—a story of women, a story of grief, a story of suffering, a story of courage, and…

Just a damn good story.

We are women, and we are so much more than what THEY would like us to be.

You can preorder a copy of Seven Princesses now (I’ll be reading the Audiobook, too) at the link in my bio. You can also comment “book” below and I’ll DM you a link. Our stories matter. And early preorders signal to retailers, bookstores, and media that this book—and the stories it contains—deserve to be heard.

Thank you all for your continued support and love.
