This is my first post of 2017. We’ve been having a rough
time over here. Hubby, who has Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, two conditions that
no one on earth deserves, had a major setback in January. He grew so weak from
malnutrition, due to his swallowing difficulties, that he had to have a feeding
tube put in. On Friday the 13th of January, of all days. The 13th has always
been our lucky day as we were both engaged and later married on the 13th. Our
luck isn’t holding lately. The hospital stay did a lot of damage and he’s now
having to learn to walk again. He had home rehab for awhile, my choice, so he
could collect his mind, bring it back to wherever it had gone in the hospital.
That happened and he’s now in a rehab facility. I’m not liking any of this.
There are a couple of bright spots keeping me going—and distracted
from all this.
Mystery Thriller Week
I’m not doing as good a job promoting this as I could if I
weren’t spread thin right now, but consider this an attempt! I’m doing 3 Power
Hours, beginning today. Each one is 10-11 am Eastern Time and each one involves
a giveaway from a different series. Today is CHOKE, the 16th is EINE KLEINE MURDER, and the 17th is DEATH IN THE TIME OF ICE. I would love you to come
chat!
Here's a great place to sign up to win prizes!

I’ve also been lucky enough to net a ton of reviews and
interviews. Here are most of them:
DAY OF THE DARK
anthology: Eclipse Stories
I got a ton of excellent submissions for this. Too many, in
fact. I had to turn down some very good stories so that the paperback will be
printable. Wildside Press will get this out before the August 21st total solar
eclipse. I’ll keep you up to date on this.
