Hi all! Okay, it has been a long time since I’ve posted… I am definitely embarrassed about that and am saying sternly to myself: I will be better about posting!

BUT, I do have exciting news! My novel, The Truth is a Theory, has just launched and is now available on amazon.com! Yikes! Exciting and scary.

This novel is a labor of love. It took me over 12 years to write, waking up before the sun to grab a little time in the hush of a sleeping house, when the only sound was the tap tap of my keyboard and the sigh of the coffee percolating; before alarms went off and the house shook to life, before 3 kids clamored down the stairs, before breakfast and backpacks and briefcases and clients. For a while, I was embarrassed that it was taking years and years and that my perennial answer was yes, I was “still writing the book”. The word still dripped with chagrin.

But now I see it differently. I see the still as tenacity, as grit. And now that the book is done, now that it is actually a tangible thing in my hand, on our kitchen counter, I hope that I have taught my kids that dreams can absolutely come true, but not without sweat, patience, and determination.

And going forward, I hope that their own stills will be drenched in pride.

The book is women’s fiction, and it is the story of the assumptions we make about important people in our lives, and how these fatally flawed “truths” play out for four women friends. One of the primary threads in the novel is–can you guess?–that the main character’s marriage is falling apart. In the Acknowledgments at the back of the book, I thank Sue Johnson for creating EFT, as once I started training in EFT, I was able to see and clarify the negative cycle that I was writing about without even knowing it.

I would be honored if you would take a look and perhaps put it on your reading list for the summer. And if you like it, please spread the word and/or post a review on Amazon or goodreads.com!

  1. Hi Karyn,

    Congratulations! I purchased this months ago and wondered why I had yet to receive it. May I assume that it will be mailed to me soon?

    Hope you celebrate this great accomplishment!

  2. Karyn, I’m really happy for you and so excited to read it. I love the cover and will definitely tell my friends and book group about it. Are you doing any readings or other author events? Would you consider Skyping in to a book group meeting?

    1. Thank you so much, Ora! In terms of readings/author events… that is my learning curve, to figure out the marketing! 🙂 And I would love to Skype–or come to–a book group meeting! It would be an honor. 🙂 xoxo

  8. Karyn I just finished reading your book. I loved it! You have an amazing talent in your use of words. Your experience as a couples therapist was so evident as you described the relationships of the characters and how they evolved. I look forward to your next endeavor. Susie
