@caitlynmcmath Well, I started writing in 1994 but didn’t get serious about it until 2015. I’m also still practicing criminal defense full-time, so my experience may not be the best gauge.

So excited to have my memoir go out into the world! This process has been much like birthing a child, except it’s taken much longer!! Instead of being repetitive, I decided to just copy my FB message from yesterday here. Tomorrow’s a big day…THE FRUIT YOU’LL NEVER SEE will be available for pre-sale for its May 2nd release date. I’m experiencing such a mixed bag of emotions: excitement, satisfaction, apprehension, gratitude, and even a bit of disbelief. I started working on the book so long ago that it seemed like it might never see the light of day. But it is a story that needed to be told—I know this because it wouldn’t let me go until I did just that. The weight of the shame I carried for much of my life nearly broke me, and in sharing this story, it doesn’t own me anymore. I am truly free. gailnastasia.com
