For those of you who have been asking, my book, “Tragedy Plus Time,” is now available.  It’s so strange to see this thing come to fruition. On the one hand, I couldn’t be more excited. Since I was a child, I’ve always wanted to publish a book – long before comedy or anything. When people asked me what I was going to be when I grew up, I told them, “A writer.” But I never in a million years would have thought the subject matter of my first book would be the suicide of my little sister, whom I love and miss so much. I’m excited and heartbroken – which is pretty much how I’ve operated ever since Lydia passed away. Choosing every day to be excited about the time I have left on the planet; heartbroken that one of my absolute favorite people is no longer here to share it with me. I’m sure anyone who has suffered through such a major loss can relate. But this book helped me grieve. A lot. I cried as much writing this as I did those first few weeks after. Cathartic is the cliche people often throw around about such experiences, but I can’t think of a better one. This book provided a catharsis for me. And as sad as it is, I did my best to make it funny and honest too, like Lydia was. Like my family is. It’s a tribute to the littlest member of our clan who burned so brightly, and it’s an honest look at mental illness and mourning. So pre-order the book if you feel so inclined. Get to know an amazing person gone too soon, one I miss and love dearly. Every single day. http://tragedyplustimebook.com/
