Caregiver 24/7 when my wife needs me. Writing short CNF and a memoir about her cancer. Engineer in medical device industry. USCG veteran. Pronouns he-him, but just because I'm ordinary doesn't mean anyone else must be.

My wife and I have finished our #memoir about her cancer treatment and my experience as her caregiver. We’re looking for beta readers. It’s a love story. It’s 58,000 words. See the graphic (the first paragraphs of the book) for content warnings. 1/2

I've heard it said, firewood warms you twice. This is probably my final chance for the first warming for the season.
