'Tis the Season...
     Here's hoping that all of you are enjoying the wonderful, warm, chaotic, magical, and sometimes stressful holiday season! I have just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done, the first one since the space age, and I'm about three quarters of the way through with the 22nd volume of The Falls small town mystery series. I also had a very pleasant surprise (no, not the C &E)  recently. There was a very flattering article written about my second career (writing) in the local paper, Your Voice News and Views, St. Lucie West/Tradition, by a very talented and remarkably talented reporter/columnist, Shelley Koppel. (skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com)
     Her interview on The Falls series , and therefore on me as well, was remarkably well done,  and kind and thoughtful toward an old Scotsman as well. If you get a chance, Google it or check it out on line. Thank you Miss Koppel, I am in your debt.
     I'm working on editing and transposing The Falls: Brotherly Love into paperback at CreateSpace as well. I continue to marvel at how easy it is to work with both Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon and CreateSpace.com in producing eBooks and paperbacks. My thanks to both companies. They are indeed an independent (Indi) author's best friend.
     The tree is up (nine feet tall, all white lights with only glass, grass, sliver and white ornaments. Beautiful! We have a new fence this year and we have hung garland along each section with a large bow at each post and a wreath on each gate, courtesy of my creative and hard working better half, Carolyn. She amazes me all the time.
     Our daughter Stephenie and her husband Joe will be moving to Italy for the final stop in his 20 year stint in the army. He is now a Lieutenant Colonel. Congratulations Joe! Here's hoping they both have a great time in Italy! Ciao!
     Enjoy the season. And as the dragons would whisper in each of our ears, the greatest gift you can give anyone is the gift of your time and love. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah to all and to all a good night
