Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Panic = waking up at 4am the day the revisions to line edits are due back and realizing there's a timing issue that could ruin a major plot point.
Joy = finding the fix by deleting 2 words.
Mystery = how did my brain realize that while I was sleeping and wake me up?

Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue."
