WHAT I'M WORKING ON
December 2019

A Single Thread will be out next year in various languages. First up: German and Italian.
I #amwriting! More on that in the New Year. For now, I am winding down. Whatever the holidays being celebrated (or not), it feels important to step back from the swift river of our lives and just be. I wish you a good break.
