Pub Day for Love Sick is Here!
Dear Readers,
It’s here! The official pub day of my memoir, Love Sick, has finally arrived and I couldn’t be more excited. Why? Because this book has been in the works for eight years now and it feels so good to finally be able to release it out into the world. In fact, it sort of feels like I’ve just given birth to a precious child and I can’t wait for everyone to meet her. All I want to do is share photos and links and quotes and stories all over my social media pages to show everyone that it’s here. It’s finally here.
For years I’ve been reading memoir after memoir as a way to understand the genre and hone my skills and I have a such a great admiration and appreciation for the authors who have gone before me (Elizabeth Gilbert, Cheryl Strayed, Jeannette Walls, Claire Bidwell Smith, Susannah Cahalan and many others), that I can’t believe today I get to add myself to that category of writer. It has been a long journey to get here. I have shed many tears, laughed uncontrollably, shit my pants (the story’s in the book), taken trips to the ER, gone to countless doctor appointments, become a part of an amazing writers’ group, taken classes at that “other” school (my apologies to my alma mater USC), met and connected with other MS warriors, written draft after draft of the book, and finally set it on my desk in all its completed hardcover glory.
If you are following me because you heard about Love Sick through a Goodreads giveaway and you want to know more about my story, I thank you and I promise to be as open and honest as I can be – the question section is open on this page so don’t be shy. If you stumbled upon this page because you read one of my OC novelizations way back in the day, thank you for sticking along for the ride. If you’re a fan of my Yoga for Beginners book, well thank you for seeing what else I have to say. And if you’re a fellow MS Warrior thank you for taking a chance on my story, while I know that every one of our journeys is unique I still can’t help but feel that we’ve all got a similar story to tell when it comes to our fears and hopes and dreams for life with this disease and I hope that in some way I can inspire you to share your own story or at the very least I hope I can get you to laugh.
To all my readers, if you like what you read in Love Sick, I would feel so blessed if you took the time to help me spread the word by adding a review, telling a friend, or tweeting it to the world. Because here’s the best part of the memoir: 10% of the proceeds from the book are being donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, if that’s not a good reason to get a copy I don’t know what is. So what do you say? Will you help me spread the word so one day there’ll be a cure?
Much love,
Cory
