Likewise! And yes ... thank you for that ... it's the fourth I've written since 'Requiem' so it shows how slow traditional publishing is!

Oh, thank you so much for that! We all do the best we can and lean into what carries us through, I believe. It's this weird calling, as it is for many, I imagine, such as yourself, I bet. :-)

Thanks and appreciate that ... and I'm glad it resonated because knowing others are operating similarly is encouraging, to say the least. You keep rockin', too!

Hi John, Thank you for the window into your world. I am sorry to learn about your and your son's health challenges, that's first. Wow, am I proud of your ability to keep on swingin' that bat and keep rounding those bases. Good for you! I love your new writing nook and view. Great analogy about "taking a nip" here and there in the secret world of writing. You're a talented dude. Keep giving your words and personality to the world. Your friend, Carolyn
