Last week was a difficult week for me. Annie’s funeral was on Thursday, then I got home from that to find out about the piracy of my books. (Yes, the person apologized for it, and yes, I do believe they’re sorry and won’t do it again.) No, not a good day, for sure. I’m not … Read More
Busy busy busy.
What a crazy, mixed-up year last year was. Everything that happened (good and bad), new releases, and trying to survive life in general.
