I’m blown away.   Since reading Womb Man: How I Survived Growing Up in a Booby-Trapped World, there are several more dear friends  who have shared their own, similar story with me.  (I sent the manuscript to about a dozen beta readers whose feedback I treasure because they always tell me the truth–the good, the…

WOO HOO! This week Lisa Twining Taylor is putting the finishing touches on the cover of my new book ‘Womb Man: How I Survived Growing Up in a Booby-Trapped World’.   I’ve just gone through the manuscript again, adding several chapters, and am so excited to be on the verge of rolling it out to…
