Happy New Year to all. Hope you had a fun and safe holiday season. Right now, my next book signing is March 23 in Minneapolis. I'm hopeful to get one set up in Green Bay before I participate in the 3rd annual Green Bay Book Fair on April 6. Got word this week that I won two awards from the Wisconsin Newspaper Association, including one first place honor. That brings my total writing awards to eight. I'm hopeful to add more as I'm submitting entries to four other contests. I don't strive to win awards whenever I write a story, but it's always nice to get one. It makes some of the hard times feel better, like it was worth it. One of my resolutions for this year is to finish book No. 2. I'm about a quarter of the way completed with it. I'm really excited for this book and one I hope will help me break through. I believe that is all for now. Thank you for your support and please keep spreading the word about "A Life Worth Dreaming About," which is still on Author House's best-seller list.
