Beyond Happily Ever After:
Relationship Strategies You Don’t Need… Yet

Hybrid memoir · Prescriptive nonfiction · 80,000 words

Not long after being told I had six months to live, I parachuted into my wedding, landed in shit, and learned everything I needed to know about why relationships survive. Or don’t. This is the book that came from forty years of living on a deadline — and the practical strategies for protecting a relationship before you need to.

My work brings together writing, ceremony, and communication, in the places where what people say and do actually matters.
