When I started my memoir I was lost, in more ways than one. Seven long years later, my life is very different: I know where I came from, I have a strong community, and I can even call myself a writer.
We share some friends in common a few who came to see you on the Berkeley leg of your tour. They witnessed you on stage like, “Who is this guy!?”. This guy is a WRITER, finally taking the shape he was always meant to. As well I’ve heard reports of not being able to put the book down. “No really, I keep postponing sleep to keep reading” . Seth, I’m looking forward to not being able to put your book down. Ordering posthaste.
Have to say: there’s no way I could be more grateful for this piece of feedback. This trip was a real “test case” for me and it’s incredibly gratifying to read that the message is received. Thanks friend, and hoping you love the book too!….
This definitely resonated with my experience. I’ve serialized a memoir called My Mother’s Ghosts (https://johnmoyermedlpcncc.substack.com/) but haven’t pursued publishing it in book form yet. It’s a bit of a nail-biter as I pursue these “ghosts” of my family’s past. You’d likely enjoy it.

My late mother was my muse in my first book. I definitely relate to reaching out to someone who was the last living link to my family's past.
Appreciate that, Brian! It's a tender feeling knowing they're the last of a line....

Thanks for that J.E.; I’m going to check it out right now!
