Eau de Vie

The story of Vie; all of it

Hi, to all of my wonderful readers. Not sure I have ever properly thanked you for taking the time to read my stories, satire, and commentary. I genuinely appreciate having all of you to write for. Yes, I do put it all out there, but somehow you’ve survived it.

Eau de Vie is my first novel, and it’s a good read for a day on the deck in a butterfly chair. You’ll get a nice tan that isn’t orange and convert some of that cholesterol you’re carrying around into vitamin D3, which is good, right?

The story is about Vie, an older woman, an artist, wife, and mother, who is dying, unbeknownst to those around her. She is seeking out the truth about herself and looking to fill her final days with authenticity and true joy, while savoring memories and feasting on all the world has to offer. She’s had a good life and wants to die on her own terms.
