The Third Act of Theo Gruene - grace grits and gardening

Hello friends! I think it’s time you meet Theo Gruene, the main protagonist of my next book, The Third Act of Theo Gruene. Theo has been occupying a huge portion of my time and mind during the past two years, so it’s only natural I would want you to know him too. AND, at the end of this post I’ve included a link to Chapter One!

You’ll be able to read Chapter One in its entirety, get a real taste for the characters, and decide whether or not it’s something you’ll like. Signed hardback and paperback versions are available to pre-order NOW by clicking HERE, and Kindle and hardback versions can be pre-ordered through Amazon too! (Paperbacks will be available on Amazon soon—there’s no rhyme or reason to the secret schedule of Amazon…)

The Third Act of Theo Gruene officially launches on May 20!

Alrighty, here we go…

Dear Sunday Letter friends~

Surprise! I’m back. Wow. I can’t believe I’ve not written a Sunday Letter since Christmas. Sometimes when our plates get overloaded, we have to take a step back. That’s what happened to me, and really, it was perfect timing, this stepping back I did. The coldest part of winter is my favorite time to hunker down and regroup. Now, as spring approaches, I can spring forward.

You know, for a while, I couldn’t think of anything worthwhile to say. I’m concerned about our nation, our environment, whole groups of people who are suffering and fearful—what could I possibly have to say in such a volatile time? But maybe this is exactly the time to spread hopefulness. To keep on keeping on. To celebrate the tiny crocus flowers pushing through the cold earth. To focus on good things.

So for now, that’s what I’ll continue doing.

Meet Theo Gruene!
