Hi Sigrid, thank you for commenting on my book. You are correct in that women's centers are interested in the book. I get feedback from counselors who have read my book and recommend it to their clients. I always thought that I wanted to be a writer. I never imagined I would write about abuse, addiction, and recovery until I was in my 40s. Even then, it was not so much a conscious choice to author these issues, it was more of a spiritual directive. Now I make my book and its topics my life's work so that others don't feel alone, and perhaps by speaking out there will be a better future with less violence for the next generation. Now, about you: what have your experiences been with the traditional publishing houses? Have you considered pitching your current book to agents who may then promote your next book too? Love and Light, Lynn
