Hey everyone!
I have been getting a lot of questions about Buried Alive, my debut tell-all on the difficult experiences I had in both a private Catholic school and later my hometown’s local public school. As a refresher, the book takes place from Kindergarten until Sixth Grade, and is an entirely true story (with some minor details and identities changed.)

A few months ago, I made the decision to release the very first chapter of the book on to Amazon for $0.99 (USD) and my online store as a free PDF download. Just prior to that release, my grandma Kathy passed away. For obvious reasons–this really killed my want to write.

I had longed to hand my grandmother a copy of my story, as it was meant to be told. It is one I have never told any of my friends, but it’s one Nana (and all the members of my family) knew all too well. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I won’t be able to hand her my book, but I know she’s watching over me as I put the words together. She’s proud of it. I can feel it.

So, I’m writing this to tell you that the book is still coming. I needed to take a break from it as Nana plays a big part in the story of my early life. The holidays are even harder without her here. God, I miss her. But I want to write again. I really want to. So for her and for me, I will.

In the meantime, I’ll be pushing out updates to the covers to reflect the 2025 estimated release date. If you have the book on Amazon, you’ll see this reflected within a few weeks–just connect your Kindle device or app to the internet every once in a while.

Alright, enough tears, I have a ton of writing to do. So we’ll talk again soon; next update on the book will be a release date. For real this time…
