Chicken Soup for the Soul Twins and More

My essay, "Two Turkeys," has been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul Twins and More!

Thanks to everyone who read early drafts and provided feedback and encouragement.

From the publisher:

This is Chicken Soup's first book about the growing world of twins and multiples. Stories highlight the special bond that twins share, the joys and challenges of raising multiples, the unique circumstances of their arrival, the double trouble that twins get into, the multiple blessings of being a twin or having them in the family, and adventures in raising triplets and quadruplets, too! Twins, parents of multiples, relatives of twins, or anyone interested in twins, triplets, and more will enjoy these inspirational, humorous, and touching stories.
