She has just recently started her publishing journey and she just can't stop writing!! Currently she has 5 books published on Amazon KDP . The first book was a very personal one about the loss of their oldest daughter called Finding the Light: Turning the Grief of Child Loss into a Light for Others. She just completed a 4 book children’s series called The Misadventures of Ozzy and Ru, based on the likeness of her daughter and son-in-law's pets. Proceeds from these books will go to The Heather Cole Sparkle of Hope which is a non profit set up after she passed that benefits animal shelters, the homeless, and children’s causes in their daughter's memory. She is also starting a line of non fiction books that will hopefully bring in an additional revenue stream! Things are happening fast, so keep D. Cole on your radar!
