Looking forward to that. Splendid to hear from you again. Add a bit of hold and silver to guns and ammo. You never know.

We are still standing in the breach. Prepping our boat for a quick getaway and 6 months off the grid on the water if needed. We hope it’s not needed. But by early May we will be provisioned up, food, water, diesel, gas, spare parts, stalwart first mate. Ready to set sail as needed.

God bless.

Literally this morning, I woke up and was wondering how the book is going. Good on you Lawrence for tackling a difficult subject, but again, I am not suprised you might do that. Could it be more timely?

OMG Lawrence! NH here, and I kid you not. I put a note just yesterday on my to do list for today to find you. I'm telling you Lawrence - we were a match connected by Heaven!

Sigh....SO MUCH going on that pulls us this way and that. For sure....I never wanted to lose track of you, who I consider a dear and special friend. Well....here we are, and for sure I will support your endeavor and purchase your book. How you came across this gentleman that told his story must be a story in itself. Can we buy from you to obtain a signed copy?

Big hugs to you, and warmest of warm regards. Ecstatic to know you are doing so well, and have been doing what you do best...write! Congratulations! You are a great storyteller, so I can know you did that elderly gentleman proud, and perhaps a lot of healing in the telling for him.

XXOO - Kathleen (LaBonte)

Lawrence, just read your book. . It was quick read that I didn't put down. Mental illness is sneaky with children as parents may be too wrapped up in life to notice and thinking it can't happen to my child. Great job presenting the warning signs from real a real life scenario.

Ciao Lawrence, I was wondering about you since we haven't seen much from your Substack writings. It's good to know you are still alive and kicking (I'm an 80's music gal). Bravo for tackling a difficult subject, surely needed, especially the times we are living in now. Looking forward to reading your book. I have two stories (one fiction, one non-fiction) that I would love to write, the non-fiction one is how I met my husband and my life with him living in Italy. We met on a dating service (before social media), an unusual love story with stereotypical Italian and American culture and comical adventures. I have an outline, but I'm struggling with dialogue.

Thanks for writing a book on this, Lawrence. It's a subject near and drear to my heart, as my adult daughter has a lot of issues (though thankfully is not violent in any significant way).

Just bought it for my kindle.
