There you are! {*{*{*hugs*}*}*}

How did I miss your two most recent books on Amazon? What’s the point of following an author if I don’t get alerts? 🤨 Nevermind, they’re ordered and they’ll be here Friday. 💚

Hi Jack!

Thank you for your warm reply. And for ordering Wintergreen and Girl & Dog!

I received my copy of Intersections last week and started reading a couple of stories before bed each night. I am totally engaged in The Haunting of Heller House and could see it becoming... more? Cool concept, excellent story telling. I've never read anything like it before. 🤩

Thank you, dear lady! I'm glad you like it, and that you're reading it in bursts.

The Heller House stories evolved. Part 1 was a concept piece (Can ghosts change their appearance? Why would they want to?) but the characters started talking to me, and by Part 4 Michaela and her family were telling me what to say while I wrote it down. They may tap on my shoulder again at some point. 😉

I sat with the blinking cursor for quite some time. It took me nearly two hours to write this short little letter. 🤭

I’m aware that in my absence, I fell out of the practice of being bold?!

How interesting!

I did improve my patience and my ability to channel my energy into books that do not offer those instant hits of dopamine and connection that comes with blogging.

To everything there is a season!

Wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays Karen. Thank you for sharing with me that you are receiving one of the greatest gifts. ❤️

Marry Christmas to you and Rosemary! What fun to celebrate in your new home. I still recall a photo of a beautiful light display you once shared from inside your apartment in Poland. No doubt your new home is also benefiting from your creativity! 🎄

Ha! The M&M idea came from my OLOL partner Jay. (You might recall he has a sweet tooth?) I was stuck for what to write about and the tiny chocolates became my magic pills.

Thank you for the congratulations! I am blessed with health, time, walks in fresh air, and resources that allow me to keep me writing, drawing, and painting.
