A little golden book I really liked was The Little Engine that Could.

Today, I’m that engine.

I thought I was done writing.

But today I finished writing my next book.

I started writing and posting the first (incomplete) version on Kindle Vella in ‘23. By ‘24 when Vella shut down, I set the story aside.

Today, on my son’s birthday, I finished writing it.

It has come a long way.

Over 3 years in the making.

This may be my last book. Or it might not.

This time, I like the beginning and the ending. I feel like it fits.

And I’m glad I didn’t give up.
