Happy All the Holidays I Missed!

Hello! Happy Halloween, Happy Thanksgiving, and if I don’t get this out soon, Merry Christmas!

I trust you all had a happy and safe Thanksgiving. I did, by eating too much at Cyndi and Bill’s house, as usual. But, oh, it was so good!

Here’s a bit of what’s been happening.

On Friday, November 18, I went with my church group to the Carolina Opry Theater in Myrtle Beach, SC to see a Christmas show. I highly recommend you go see it if you have the opportunity. It was a two and a half hour show and I was in third row center. It just doesn’t get much better.

The next day, Saturday, my writing group held our first annual Book Fair in the morning. It was held at the First United Methodist Church on Main Street in Fuquay-Varina.  Nine or ten of us who are all published and award-winning writers sold and autographed our books. For the first such event of our group, it was a smashing success.  Plus, it was good to see each other in person after meeting on Zoom for more than two years.

This coming Saturday, I will be in Clayton, NC at a school’s holiday bazaar, selling my books along with sixty other craft fair vendors. I’m very much looking forward to it.  

Here’s something you didn’t know—all my novels are now in audio form. The last one to be put on audio was Redeeming Rob. If you want, go to ACX.com or audible.com and if you like to listen to stories, you can buy them for a very nominal fee. If you do, please let me know what you think of the story you pick—Willard Manor, Leaving Mark, Finding Gary, Saving Lou, Remaking Danny, Redeeming Rob, or Testing Michael. The narrators are excellent.

I’m now ready to sit back and enjoy Christmas. I’ll be decorating the house any day now to transform it into a sparkling wonderland. Well, at least it’ll look more Christmasy than it does right now! It’ll be interesting to see how Winston reacts to his first Christmas in our house, and if Chip decides that the Christmas tree is still the best place to perch.
