A short post today because I have some big news to share!

I’ve been sitting on this for a couple of weeks, and now that I’m sharing, it all feels so surreal.

I have a book cover! For the book I wrote! The book you can now pre-order! At multiple places!

(I don’t typically overuse the exclamation point, so when I do, you know I’m excited!)

I hope you all love my book cover as much as I do.

Drum roll please…

Huge thanks to Post Hill Press, who designed a book cover for my memoir that is everything I hoped it would be. There’s a special significance behind the color red, as well as the broken heart. I can’t wait for you to read the book and find out what it is!

Camouflage comes out on October 28, 2025, and you can pre-order now!

It’s also on Goodreads, and I’d love it if you could add it to your Want to Read shelf. (I’m still working on my author page over there, but it should be updated soon.)

About Camouflage

Camouflage: How I Emerged from the Shadows of a Military Marriage is about a woman’s journey from being overshadowed by her husband’s military career to rediscovering her identity as a single mother entering a new stage in life.

The memoir explores how, like many military spouses, she camouflaged her identity, conforming to the expected role of the supportive wife who was secondary to her husband’s career as a Navy officer. But after she ended her thirteen-year marriage in her late thirties, she set out on a quest to figure out who she was as a woman without her husband, discovering that the hardships of military life—the forced independence, frequent loneliness, required adaptability, and fierce resilience—had trained her for life after divorce.

Join my launch team?

To help get my memoir into the hands of readers, I’m assembling a launch team. And you’re invited to join!

Don’t know what a launch team is or what it does? I spell it all out in my last post. If you’re interested in joining the team, please comment here or email me on my website. I promise not to clog your inboxes. And you don’t have to be a writer to be a member of the launch team, just a reader interested in stories like mine.

Thanks for all your help and support, and stay tuned for more Camouflage updates!
