I have lived with diabetes for 20 years. Much of my journey is summarized in my first book, Bright Spots & Landmines: The Diabetes Guide I Wish Someone Had Handed Me. It offers actionable diabetes tips related to food, mindset, exercise, and sleep. Access was always at the center of this project, which is why you can get Bright Spots & Landmines free as a PDF or as a free audiobook. On Amazon, the book is priced at-cost in paperback ($6) and available on Kindle and Audible. To date, over 250,000 copies of Bright Spots & Landmines have been sold/downloaded. Writing and sharing this book has been one of the most fulfilling projects of my life.

Writing has been my jam since I was very young. In fact, in fifth grade we filled out a profile declaring what we would be doing as adults. I wrote I wanted to be an author because: "I love reading and stories, and want to share that love." My elementary-school self was very wise, because that sentiment holds true today.
I live just outside Chicago with my daughter. My likes include ice cream and bulldogs, and dislikes span from broccoli to wet sneakers on linoleum (the worst). I always carry around a notebook to scribble down ideas. Writing longhand works best for me (even though it's the slowest method ever) because looking at a blank piece of paper is somehow less intimidating than a blank screen. Plus, the -
