Friday, MARCH FIRST!!! -- In like a lion, out like a lamb? Now, I forget, what is that all about?
Guess what, got a call at 4:30 a.m. -- mechanical voice, flight cancelled, put you on a red eye to Charlotte -- whoa and that's just the beginning -- what a bruhaha -- so much to be done, changed, whatever -- leaving now tomorrow morning -- oh yea --
Now to get the brain re-set or rebooted, probably both -- at least The High Cholesterol Factory with friends for lunch -- talk about getting your mind off American Airlines -- I have never had luck with them (they've lied, lied, lied, like your flight is now leaving from terminal Z, only a three-mile walk, only to get there and no one knows a thing and then you find out nothing was ever going to happen anyway) And now this. I swear, AA -- never never never again -- and no, they were very little help with anything --
Okay, all off my chest -- I'm sure all the airlines have occasional blips , but I've never had them outright lie like American does -- no, that's quite enough.
Okay, guys, I'm not going to the gym today but I swear to you I'm doing 40 minutes cardio on my bike (while watching TV) -- and floor exercise to follow, not really the same thing, but the best I can do. What about you guys? How are you going to be virtuous today?
Did everyone get their third mini-newsletter?

Thursday, 21st February -- Glad you guys liked the T-5 mini-newsletter -- lots of fun. Yes, there'll be four more mini-newsletters. More outrageous? Sure thing.
Had to be really careful climbing up on Charlotte's hood, didn't want to hurt her. But she just kept humming, cheering me on, getting ready to rev her engine if needed to get away from book nappers -- that's a great line --
Doing some live filming late this afternoon -- on Facebook, I think, but a closed loop unless you were signed up and that was out of my control. I don't completely understand this procedure, but it'll be an interview and q/a from those watching. Sounds like lots of fun. So keep your digits crossed I don't forget again and wear my moose slippers.
Cold slowly, slowly backing away, looking for that book napper, I hope. That'd serve him right.
Gym, people, don't be slackers, don't procrastinate, don't eat a Lean Cuisine and think you don't need to work your bod. Not true and you know it. I mean, sometimes I like the Mexican Lean Cuisine (well, it could be anything that was Mexican food), but you always have to MOVE. Shoulder Blades Back -- how about that for a mantra?

Wednesday, 20th February -- So what do you think of the 2nd mini-newsletter with the moose slippers? Actually, since it started out as T-6, it's really T-5 -- yep, a mini newsletter every week for six weeks. This is really fun to come up with strange and wonderful ideas to make everyone laugh.
Gym, second time there today -- still I think I'll keep it a little lighter -- but it's so great to be back into the world of the machines and the mats and the free weights and the tread mills and the elipticals. Do you think I'm nuts? Nah -- really. What you gotta do is simply make the gym or your workout time a HABIT, part of your daily schedule, so there's no questioning it, no not doing it.
Finishing editor edits today, which feels really great.
Oh yes, one of you told me about the weird book description of LABYRINTH on AMAZON -- sure enough, it's bad. What an embarrassment. Who's responsible? Not important now, but trust me, it'll never happen again. I'm rewriting it this morning, so it would be changed on all online book sellers very soon now.
Up and at 'em, guys -- you're snowed in? DO THOSE STAIRS, work those legs, SBB, up and down, a dozen times. MOVE --

Tuesday, 19th February -- Today I'm sending out the second of six mini-newsletters about THE LAST SECOND, so be on the lookout --
Many of you went ou lala at the mention of Harrison Ford lookalike -- He was totally charming, fascinating life, all the interesting film-related things he's doing and he's done. Lana from Richmond didn't look like Harrison Ford, thankfully. She was also very smart and personable -- I feel both of these writers are going to do very well.
The gym yesterday was WONDERFUL. Yep, I lightened up a bit and it was a shock when at the end I was ready to take a lie-down.
Working on revisions for LABYRINTH -- my editor did an excellent job homing in on the two spots that had concerned me --
All right, you guys, are you moving those magnificent bodies? Are you shouting to the blue skies (or the snowy skies or the rainy skies) that you're here and ready to rock 'n roll? Follow through, do not put off your cardio or your stretching -- as you know, the exercise minions are always on the lookout for slackers --

Friday, 15th February -- so good to have the energy to respond to all your comments again -- it's always great to hear from you all and know what's going on with you.
And there were two sweepstakes winners for the 45 novels -- Congratulations.
Today I speak. To keep the hacking cough at bay, you recommended diet ginger ale at lunch, pineapple juice or hot tea with honey -- thank you for the advice. Whatever, it will be lots of fun and hopefully I am not longer contagious. No, no, surely not, it's nearly two full weeks now of the Yuck.
One of you had some kickback from the shingles shot -- but you're right, kickback is okay compared to the full-blown cases of shingles I've seen. Do get the shot if you haven't had it yet.
It's the last day of the week, the day you finish up big stuff at work, finish up projects at home, discipline your other half appropriately, and to polish it all off -- Get yourself to the gym or out walking or stay home and do stairs and STRETCH -- don't forget abs (leg lifts) and bis and tris. Everyone on board? Yes, you know I'm much better when I start haranguing you again!

Thursday, 14th February -- yes, yes, it's hearts and flowers day and no calories with anything you put in your gullet. Do get a card for your other half -- at the very least --
Now: if you want to come see/hear me speak and sign books, it's the San Francisco Writers Conference at the Hyatt Regency,
TOMORROW -- at 12:30 --
Just keep your digits crossed I don't break into manic coughing --
Joining the land of the living, slowly but surely. Glad you like the first of 6 "funny" "weird" "cute" -- photos pushing the pre-order of THE LAST SECOND --
Exercise today, people, then enjoy your honey -

Tuesday, 12th February -- Here's a treat for you: Laura Benedict, a fabulous writer, has a brand new suspense thriller out THE STRANGER INSIDE. What would you do if you came home to find a stranger living in your house -- a stranger who knows your darkest secret? Shiver me timbers -- goodness, folks -- prepare to lock your doors.
This thriller is out there TODAY, waiting for you.
Today, better, and let me say that life is a very fine thing. For the first time in a week and a half I'm going to hop on the bike and very gently ease back into movement. Believe me, the exercise minions are watching, and from the looks on their faces, they are expecting more than I probably have to give, we'll see. Thank you for all the free cardio minutes.
Everyone, push the cardio today and smile while you're doing it, think of me, huffing and puffing, trying to get back into the groove.

Friday, 8th February -- Good morning, I'm about 70% -- not great, but okay, this is a huge bummer, but again, if it had to happen, this was the very best week, no book to work on, no particular demands, just a lot of "poor Babies" -- I do love poor babies -- makes me feel all sorts of loved and cared for. If you get this Type A cold, prepare to hunker down, nothing else to do since you won't be good for anything at all. And try not to infect others, tough, with the hideous cough, but all you can do is try.
Please, keep sending me cardio time -

Thursday, 7th February -- YEA! There is a faint light at the end of the tunnel. Better today, still bad cough, but hey, upright, which is a blessing. Keep sending me a couple minutes of your cardio as this body is happy to breathe and little else.
If you haven't pre-ordered THE LAST SECOND -- DO IT RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
I'll be back up and running by tomorrow -- if all the minions do their get-well line-dance that never fails (so they tell me)
Happy Thursday --
