Not even. More like 26 days.

It's amazing how long ago I started The Small Stuff which was back in the year 1922 when the pandemic first started and I was looking for a way to ignore the noise and immerse myself in a story I wanted to read myself.

And now, here we are, one hundred years later and the book is finally close to winging its way to book stores and online stores alike.

So, sue me -- two years feels like a hundred. It can sometimes feel that way when you pour your head into a few hundred pages and can't wait to see if it resonates for people.

There's an old adage: books are never finished. No, they're abandoned. You can always go back and change things, but ultimately you have to pick a moment when you let it out into the world and let the chips fall where they may.

That's the stage I'm at now.

All to say, I'm thrilled that on April 12th I'll be able to know that it's out there, and looking forward to all the feedback (good or mildly good) that will come out of it. I hope, if you've been following me along this road, that you'll think about pre-ordering the book and jumping on that same bandwagon.

In the meantime, I'm here to answer questions, give you inside information (nothing you can use on the stock market) and generally be the concierge for YOU, the reader.

Thanks for all your support and interest!
