God Grew Me—Now My Book Needs to Catch Up.

Remission—A Collection of Writing was my first book I self published in October of 2020. 

To say I’m proud of Remission would be an understatement. In the last four years since publishing it, I have grown and evolved considerably, notably in my faith and my walk with God. Even now, seeming so far removed from the experiences that inspired the pieces Remission contains, I can open it today and immediately fall back into a moment with every word. Within Remission are some of the most intimate thoughts and feelings I ever uttered outside of myself, and it still is hard to believe I published this work for the world to see. It is truly a piece of my heart and it represents a myriad of personal experiences that intimately make me who I am today. My feelings toward this work have remained deeply sentimental. 

Words cannot express my overwhelming appreciation for all the support that I have had for Remission. I will always be moved by the way it resonated with and touched so many people, and I am so grateful for the experience of creating it. The love it received was so powerfully affirming to me. Thank you to everyone who purchased, read, reviewed, and even interacted with my writing and art via social media and this very page. Thank you. 

I recognize the significance of preserving the authenticity of the writing and the various corresponding seasons of life it was born of, while also duly recognizing that this work will forever represent me. 

It is because I love Remission so much, that after long and conscientious consideration I have decided to temporarily pull Remission from production and distribution in order to make some minimal but meaningful revisions to represent myself (and God,) in a way  I can be proud of and at peace with through the lens of eternity. 

All revisions are not definitive or complete at this time, but will include a slight few poem revisions, illustration revisions and a cover update. 

I intend to handle this work with care and make revisions thoughtfully and sparingly.

This decision has been important to me and brings me a necessary peace with my first published work, allowing me to feel inspired to continue using my gift of writing in ways that honor God, my full artistic abilities, and my values. 

Although I am not opening up about this decision for exchanges of permission, suggestion or approval, I am sharing this out of tremendous love, respect and appreciation for those who support my writing (and art.) 

The last physical copies of the original version of Remission have been added to my website for purchase at a discounted price. For those these explained changes are not necessarily resonate or imperative to, I believe you will love Remission and I look forward to sharing the remaining original copies with you.

Also, Amazon is still selling through their last inventory of Remission if you would like to conveniently purchase an original copy there.

The re-release date and details will be shared as soon as they are officially determined. Thank you for your continued love and support.

Thank you again,

Love you all.
