Don’t Tell Me How to Die
Coming March 4, 2025
I have one thing to do before I die.
And time is running out.
I had it all: fantastic husband, two great kids, an exciting career. And then at the age of 43, I found out I would be dead before my next birthday.
My mother also died at 43. I was 17, and she warned me that women would flock to my suddenly single father like stray cats to an overturned milk truck. They did. And one absolutely evil woman practically destroyed his life, mine, and my sister’s.
I am not letting that happen to my family.
I have three months, and I plan to spend every waking minute searching for the perfect woman to take my place as Alex’s wife, and mother to Kevin and Katie.
You’re probably thinking, she’ll never do it. Did I mention that in high school I was voted “Most Likely to Kill Someone to Get What She Wants”?
After I finished the final draft of Don’t Tell Me How To Die I sent the manuscript to 50 people, and asked them to text me with their gut reaction as they were reading. Here are some of their responses…
