So we have reached the deadline (almost.) I have over 80 stories, written by wombtwin survivors from all over the world. [What am I talking about? see here]
Thank you everyone! The next step is to set the book, using InDesign for Mac, and decide which pieces go where, in which chapter. It will be a 70,000 word paperback.
Elizabeth Noble, author of Primal Connections, has written me a foreword. A wombtwin survivor in Canada has offered me one of her original paintings for the cover.
I have not been so happy for a long time: I love to make books (see some of them here) in any case, but to be the first to help 80 people tell one of the great untold stories of our time, is so exciting I don't know what to say, so I won't say any more.
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
