As this difficult and often terrible year is approaching its end, I have been thinking about what I am thankful for. One such thing that I am deeply grateful for are my readers on this blog. You are a disparate group, but you are also unfailingly intelligent, kind, and civil. I have also made several friendships here with people who live far away, and I am deeply grateful for those connections.
To all my blog followers:
Thank you!

Thank you, Charles. I am also very happy that we are friends. I have just finished writing a new short story called The Bite. Easier to write a short story while travelling that doesn’t require as much research as my novel.

Happy (belated!) New Year to you and yours, Charles – I’m GRATEFUL to find your work in my blog feed – even when I go MIA and work through ‘catching up” – I’m also grateful that you never berate me for my “was here, blew up your notifications’ feed – when I strive to catch up after a time of shifting priorities/emergencies that keep me from logging in each day and …well….keeping up – 😀
