Bet You Thought I Wouldn’t Show Up…

But here I am.  🙂
Our winners for this week: Sandy Fincel and Shelley DiTommaso.  Congratulations, ladies.  Your books will be on their way to you soon.  The new contest is underway as of now–two winners will be selected at random, notified, and announced right here on the blog next Monday.
Your words of encouragement and consolation keep on coming, and you will never know how grateful I am for each and every one of you.  “Thank you” just does seem to cover the subject.
I’m up to my eyeballs in my new project, and I’m so excited!  I’ll tell you more about it as the situation develops.
I’ve been reading–and listening–up a storm.  I’m just barely into an audiobook called “Wake Me Up!  A True Story”, by Lyn Ragan.  It’s an afterlife tale, and I don’t know what I think about it yet, because I’m only in the first chapter, but it certainly grabs the heart right away.  I guess the afterlife is very much on my mind these days, for obvious reasons.
I’ve also downloaded some historical novels, along with Jayne Ann Krentz’s new one, “Trust No One”.  Jayne is an old friend, and one of the best writers I know.
The weekend was quiet, reflective and prayerful.  There is SO much to be grateful for.
