Thanks

Filed in: blog

I appreciate hearing from everyone who’s asked about my mom as well as other parts of my life. You are awesome.

My mom is still improving, if not yet back to baseline. I tried to call her yesterday, but she’d gone to the mailbox. While this is not a big chore to most of us, last week she had trouble getting to the kitchen, much less out the door. So much of her strength has returned, even though she has to take a lot of rest breaks.

She’s made the decision not to go back on any treatment for her lung ailment and her doctor concurs. The treatment is, obviously, much worse than the illness. My brother will come down in February and they will discuss options for her living arrangments heading into the future. I think Mother would like to stay put as long as possible, in her own home, but some of the assisted living facilities do intrigue her. We’ll see.

My bit of career news is that Steeple Hill accepted the revised version of FACE OF DECEIT (aka CLUES), and we’re moving toward line edits. I’m still working on No. 3 even though they’ve not asked for a full manuscript as of yet. I have hopes! THE MISSING SANDALS is, like the other two, set in Mercer, New Hampshire. This time, police chief Tyler Madison is the hero. More on that later.

Thanks, again, for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. I know what a difference this makes. So does Mother.
