Please tell us about your forthcoming memoir The Broken King. It’s a 6-part memoir about Thomas men. Each section contains a central event, commentary, and meditation.

Are their risks in telling these stories?  Yes: you could hurt those you love, or, simply, tell the stories poorly and injure your readers.

How would you describe the memoir-writing experience? Awful. It nearly ruined me.
