Learning to Dance in the Rain II shares your personal story of loss and grief and provides insightful advice on recovery and dating. Why was this an important book for you to write?

I felt like it was my mission to share my story so others could learn from my advice and experiences and avoid my mistakes.

What is one piece of advice you received that has helped you the most throughout your life?

To not waste time thinking about what you should have done differently that might have prolonged your partner’s life.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

I had several objectives for writing this book. 1) to share vital information so others can recognize when they are being “tricked” by criminals who paint a beautiful romantic future, only to steal their victims’ money. 2) to help widows and widowers have a “healthy” grieving journey, that it is okay to cry and to feel bad about their loss, and that it is also okay at some point to move forward and to build a happy, new life with a new partner if that is what they want to do. 3) to give some relationship tips to help others communicate better.

What do you hope is one thing you hope readers take away from your book?

That they can now make better decisions in their relationships so they can have a fulfilling next chapter.
