First off, I just have to say, I know it’s Wednesday. And last week, I said I was going to send out newsletters on Tuesday. Well, that’s proving to be a little bit harder than I expected because… Let me introduce you to my sweet new granddaughter!
She was born on Jan 25th,
Posting on a Tuesday today! I promise I have a good reason for it (pictures to come next week), but let’s just say that a certain package of joy and goodness showed up in the world, and I had to drop everything and get on a plane. Stay tuned for those adorable pictures in the next newsletter!
So, I’ve been in Florida for two weeks now and guess what? I’ve only seen the sun twice! Went to the beach twice too, but the second time I had to wear a stocking cap because it was unexpectedly cold. I’m not sure, but I think the cold has followed me.

I’m hanging out with my business partner and good friend Lindsay Harrel. If you haven’t read her books, check out her website here. Right now, we’re planning all the fun things that we’re going to do over at Sunrise Publishing next year.
Happy Thanksgiving! Not sure if I’m going to get a Friday e-mail out so I wanted to shoot you a note today. I mean really, who looks at our emails on Friday? Except if there’s deals. I’m all about the Black Friday Deals!

So, I’m heading to my daughter’s house this week to help her decorate the baby’s room (Grandchild arriving in Jan!) but on the way, I’m going to dive into a Christmas novella. I have a small pile of my favorites— (one of my absolute favorites is by Dave Barry: The Shepherd,
