Letting go

My son and his new wife, Heather, just bought their first house. They aren't close enough to visit very often. A part of me wants to reach out to them in some way, but another part of me knows that I have to let them live their own lives and face their own challenges.
It's that way with my books, too. I did my best to "raise" them right, and now they're off on their own, getting their reviews or sitting on a shelf.
Well, that's the life of a mother and an author. I hope my writing makes you as happy as Heather makes Mike.
I just uploaded Chapter One of Stars Shine After Dark so that you can take a peek inside. But, I'm afraid I can't upload a picture of Mike and Heather's new house. You'll just have to take my word for it that they made a good choice.
