I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Sometimes we just need to think about how fortunate we are to have our family and friends.  My year didn’t start so well when I learned that my new left knee was infected.  I won’t bother you with the details, but I can thankfully say I am ending the year in much better condition than I started it.  In addition to being thankful for physical recovery, I am thankful for the nursing care provided by my wife and the support and encouragement from family and friends.

While recovering from three major surgeries, I certainly learned that the laptop computer is appropriately named. For several hours each day, I sat with the computer in my lap while I worked on Costly Affair, the second book in my “love, lies and liaisons” trilogy.  It certainly helped the time pass quickly and enabled me to meet my publishing deadlines (I set my own!).  Happy Thanksgiving, Laptop.  You, too, are very much appreciated.
