You all, 

I CAN NOT believe it. Tomorrow is release day for both The Garden Beneath My Grief as well as Between Violence & Valor. You know that feeling you had as a kid Christmas Eve? Where you are so excited to see what awaits you in the morning but nervous to find out if you got that ONE gift, the one you wished for over and over again? That is the feeling I have in the pit of my stomach. The undeniably anxiousness but that overly excited feeling I could just scream!

I have NO idea what is ahead of me. Honestly, both could end up being total flops, but I do know that, whatever it is, I will be grateful because this feeling that I have right this second...is worth it all. 

Forever grateful for these opportunities and even more proud that the hard work paid off and the reward is right around the corner.

All my love, 

Shay
