Vol. GO No. LIONS
Just home from Florida, belated Christmas visits with precious family who, thankfully, all live in the same area. Lots of camaraderie, healthy (yeah, right) food from Hibachi to Penne a la Vodka (no, can’t get high only more Italian) to Enchiladas and chips (BIG YEA). Weather good, enough sun, and best of all? No Drama.
Amazing news: Both going to Florida and coming home, not a single problem, on-time flights, very pleasant. The trick, of course, is to try to fly non-stop and avoid blizzards.
L.A. Fires: The law of 6 degrees of separation -- everyone knows someone in the fire zones and I’ll bet, like us, you’ve been in constant contact with family/friends. We have cousins in L.A. – so far so good, but they now have five relatives/friends living with them. The families who’ve lost everything – it’s horrifying. Lots of good organizations to help. Please donate. As for me, it’s animal rescue organizations.
DRUM ROLL – THE HEIR OF WHITESTONE, the 11th novel in the Sherbrooke series, is set in England in 1842 with a cast of new characters, and Ryder Sherbrooke in a major minor role. The hero and heroine are very witty, and ultra cool, and as I’ve told you, the all the characters love to proclaim, won’t shut up. Don’t hold your breath, I’ll get you on the mystery.
So, question: what else could you ask for in this lovely new year? I’ll be sending the manuscript (well, the thumb drive) off in a couple of weeks. I’ll keep you posted on the novel’s progress to publication and when it will leap into your hands.
Can you believe it -- It’s 2025.
Happy New Year. I still have lovely memories of watching the ball drop in NYC and heading to sleep.
