Divorce: Emergency Protocol is a structural survival guide for the most disorienting phase of separation — the moment after one spouse says “I want out,” but before anything else has taken shape.
This isn’t therapy. It’s not a pep talk. It’s a calm, unflinching handbook designed to help you function clearly when the ground shifts beneath you.
Built for the person who didn’t initiate the breakup but is now responsible for stabilizing its aftermath, this book offers clear tools for navigating the volatile early stretch of divorce — legally, emotionally, and logistically.
You’ll learn how to:
Reclaim agency when you feel blindsided
Avoid costly legal and financial missteps
Prepare documentation and protect key records
Communicate with dignity instead of panic
Support your children while staying grounded
Design the first phase of your divorce with intention, not impulse
Whether you’re still sharing a home or reeling from a sudden declaration, this guide helps you lead with structure — not survival instinct.
Written by a conflict resolution professional trained in decision science and negotiation, Divorce: Emergency Protocol reframes divorce not as personal failure, but as a structural rupture requiring clarity, not chaos.
You won’t find closure here. But you will find your footing.About the author

Love is a dangerous game when your clients are killers…from the bestselling author behind Love Letters to a Serial Killer.
When Lexie's fiancé runs off with her so-called best friend on her birthday, her carefully crafted fairy-tale life shatters. Having survived horrors in her past, she was determined to finally get her happily-ever-after—and she's not giving up yet.
To distract herself, Lexie throws herself into her unusual job: matchmaking psychopaths (a specialty her clients are blissfully unaware of). But the loneliness is crushing. So when a gorgeous, overprotective new client named Aidan insists they're soulmates, and another intriguing client, Rebecca, seems perfect to fill the best-friend-shaped hole in her life, Lexie can't help but find the attention comforting—despite her own professional boundaries.
Then a human heart appears on Lexie's doorstep. As more threatening packages arrive and her fiancé mysteriously disappears, she must confront a terrifying question: did she inadvertently match herself with a killer? Between Aidan's claims that her fiancé will never return, Rebecca's growing presence in her life, and her own dark past resurfacing, Lexie's matchmaker instincts are being tested like never before.
Because someone is determined to ensure her story ends with a funeral.

When Daniel Smith sets out on a crime-as-performance-art spree (known as the "Crime Artist" around town for blowing up cans of paint in bank vaults) fueled in part by the sudden death of his mother (who revisits him, spitefully, as a ghost), he never expects to be forcefully joined by two adherents to his youthful idealist cause: Zach, a sharply honest androgynous blonde, and Lucy, an insouciant voluptuous beauty. On the run from the police as well as from the aching doldrums of life in Lincoln, Nebraska, the three are determined to "change the world" by expanding on Daniel's original series of art crimes. A folksy cast of characters brings together a surrealist romp of a book that toys with questions of art and life, humor and sex, beauty and the absurd. It's a snowstorm, it's a rainbow riot, it's a blazing mad costume party. Read it, if you dare.
