How My Brother’s Suicide Influenced My Life and Writing by @Raine_Thomas
I’m beyond honored to bring YA fantasy/romance writer Raine Thomas (award-winning author of the exciting and original series of YA fantasy/romance novels about the Estilorian plane), to you today. Normally quite private about her personal life, Raine opens up today about dealing with her brother’s suicide. A heartfelt, real-life story about grief. Thank you, Raine, for your inspiring honesty on such a difficult subject.

How can I take these seriously?
