A Heartbroken Writer Gal Letter

Thank you for reading this

Mahalo,

Postmate for the first time in the history of The Writer Gal Letter, I have no song for you. I have no voice whatsoever.

It is with a completely heartbroken heart that I share this update with you.

I can’t say much more than this, Postmate at the moment. Because my mind is blank and my heart, my very soul is full of grief. I still cannot believe he is gone even though I know it is for the best. I have shared with you his struggles and health issues and now he, and we, are free to celebrate him as he was in his life - brave, generous, quick to anger and quicker to forgive, impossibly loving and so smart in his own way.

I have not had the strength to talk about Thathu anywhere else but you and I have a special connection, don't we? You know me and support me in ways the rest of the world cannot. And, today, more than ever I am grateful for that support.

And to all the Postmates who wished me last week, thank you for your wishes. I just haven’t had the heart to be happy yet.

I am sincerely sorry that I have no firm release dates for Tempt and Crave yet. I cannot think of writing about death and healing from it in the moment I'm in today. But I promise you I am healing. I will write again. Very soon. And when I do, you will be the first to know. I am still shooting for a late December release for both books but I won't commit to it yet.

I just need a bit of time to remember and cherish my favorite person in the whole world and say my goodbyes to him in the big and little ways.

Please know I do not take our relationship for granted and I will come back soon.

With a fuller heart, with more words and with better, more poignant stories that will help you escape and bloom. This is my hope.

This was my Thathu's fondest wish. He at least got to see his pride and joy achieve USAT Bestseller Status because of you, Postmate.

For that he, and I, will always be grateful to you.

Till next time,

Stay safe and hold your loved ones close to your heart.

Xx
