Happy Thanksgiving!
As I try to remind myself, I want to encourage all of us at Thanksgiving to take time to reflect on what makes us thankful. Frankly, the last year challenged that in a myriad of ways. For me, politics went in the dumper and continues to scare the hell out of me. And I have an elderly father in the last days of his life. But if I dwell on the misery – well, I miss that life usually delivers both ends of the spectrum. So I think about the love in my life, with my family, from Paul to the dogs to my families in Colorado and Michigan to my family of close friends. I think about my current good health. I even stopped to watch a plane land today in Chicago – thinking of the amazing beauty as that machine seemingly glided through the air without effort, and with a nice sunny blue backdrop on this chilly Chicago day. Yeah – I a lot has me worried and a little down, but a lot has me encouraged, and happy, too. Here’s to hoping that balance exists for you, too.
Speaking of something happy – reviews and reactions to The Vampire’s Protege continue to come in. Please follow the links below for more information:
Another review was recently posted! This one includes the reviewer doing a quick Q&A with me, so that’s pretty cool! Follow the hyperlinks to view the review and the back and forth. Elisabeth Hammill’s Review. Q&A with Elisabeth.
And I did a radio interview this week, which offers about 45 minutes of a conversation I had with Tony Kay about The Vampire’s Protege! My kind friends and family think it sounds good. I was nervous and it’s one of those things about the sound of your own voice . . . Ugh. That being said, it was fun to go into more depth about my characters and fiction writing in general. Anyway, you decide what you think! Here’s the link: ArtistFirst-SerbuInterview
