What's happening?

It has been quiet here, I know. I hear the crickets too. And I'm here to say a few things and let the social world know what's happening.

On the personal front, I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right-dominant-hand in January and I'm feeling better typing now. The journey has been bumpy and I'm still healing so that saying about patience applies in my case. I am doing my hand exercises and taking things one day at a time. My son just received the Nintendo Switch gaming system today and we're p...

Today I want to help and since I couldn't run this on my book blog over at Reader Girls, I figured I would run it here. I have the first book of this series on my Kindle and really have to start reading more (again). Enjoy!The Awakened Fate s...
