Not every client finishes their book. Not because they’re lazy. Because it hurts. There’s a point—usually halfway through—when the story turns from something you’re “writing about” into something you’re living again. The details stop feeling safe. The voice cracks.

For over 15 years, I had wanted to write a book about our unique story. Every inquiry led to disappointment. In April 2024, while on vacation in Bali, I met Karen Donald. She mentioned she was a ghostwriter. We spoke about my dream and arranged to meet again the next day.

She believed in me as an author and believed in the work. She always showed up, listened intently, and brought steady dedication.
Now, as the book nears publication, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. She brought my dream to life.
