Start reading my new book Turn Toward the Sun now!
Trying again due to technical difficulties in my first email :)
It’s me again. Let’s try this again! I’m so sorry for the technical difficulties! Apparently the link to read the chapters didn’t work for some people so I’m resending. I’m just learning a new email platform so thank you for bearing with me! :)
It’s Good Friday…and whether you happen to be a believer or not (all are welcome here)…today is a day that symbolizes darkness never getting the last word.
I like to think that’s what my latest book, Turn Toward the Sun symbolizes, too.
It was supposed to be a different book.
It was supposed to be a very sassy, pithy book about letting go and moving on. If you’ve read my other books, especially my last book, Don’t Believe the Swipe, and/or if you follow me on social media, you know I love sassy and pithy. And letting go and moving on are both topics I love to talk about. You don’t make it to age forty-two as a single woman and not know a thing or two about letting go and moving on. Those are both really important concepts to explore, as I think most humans in general inherently struggle with letting go and moving on (especially those of us humans who happen to be anxiety-ridden control freaks). So I was excited to dive into a book all about letting go and moving on: from lost love, from toxic relationships, from dead-end careers, from one-sided friendships, from negative mindsets, etc., etc. And this book will cover some of those things.
But they’re not the overlying themes of the book.
Why?
Because 2020 happened. And then the pandemic happened. And then my parents’ diagnoses happened.
And I couldn’t live in Fantasyland anymore. Instead, I was brought crashing down to earth in a puddle of fear and grief and anxiety because this time, the what is was so big, I couldn’t ignore it. I couldn’t run from it. I couldn’t deny it. I had to learn to live with it. And not just live with it but in it . . . and also somehow accept it and work with it and survive it and even thrive in the midst of it.

I hope you enjoy this excerpt, and I hope you’ll be inspired to pre-order the book. It’s so special to me. I fought especially hard for the title and the design of the cover because I just KNEW in my gut that we were all ready for some sunshine. Some light. Some HOPE.
The last two years have been so challenging and so heartbreaking for so many of us. I don’t know about you…but I’m ready to let the light in. Shall we turn toward the sun together? :)
Lots of love (and sunshine),
Mandy
