Meet the wonderful team for my new book, Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book
Meet the wonderful team that helped me create and publish my new book, Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book. Each person highlighted was an invaluable source of knowledge, team-spirited collaboration, and warm support. I could not have done it without them!
“Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book” illustrates the concept of the continuation of life. It begins with the seed of a tree, shows its seasons of growth and change, and ends with hope for a brighter future. It is dedicated to children and adults everywhere who are impacted by gun violence.

Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book
Today and Forever: A Narrative Coloring Book is now available for purchase on Amazon.
I hope that people who have the right contact with adults and children experiencing trauma—for instance, teachers, counselors, policemen, first responders, healthcare providers, pastors, etc.—would share this book to give comfort and a creative outlet to those in need.
I also imagine adults having coloring parties to come together to read the book and create their own colorful works of art in an environment of fellowship, love, and hope.
I am looking into creating a foundation where I would send books around the world when I hear about traumatic events, especially involving children or gun violence. It would be an expression of sympathy and concrete support to aid in the process of mental and emotional healing.
