That Good End Note We're All Looking For
In general, people like endings, summations, wrap-ups. This time of year, we listen to radio and TV tell us the best and worst of 2012, no matter how silly the list or how shoddy the science behind it. It's all relative, of course. Though I'm dimly aware of the Korean rapper who dances silly, I wouldn't put him on any list of things that interested me in 2012.
But someone put my book on their Best of 2012 list, and that interests me. (Like I said, it's all relative!) A reviewer I've never met who isn't acquainted or related to me by marriage or blood wrote a great review of KILLING SILENCE (see it at http://www.cncbooks.com/blog/). Another reviewer, also unknown and unrelated, was just as nice (see that one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Silence...).
Those who know me realize that 2012 was a pretty devastating year for us, but there are things that help us see hope for 2013: good friends, new opportunities, and the kindness of strangers.
