Hey there and hello:

I am madly at work on several things, including a novel, several short stories, and some research for a new haunted book. We shall see how it goes the rest of the year. I am quite excited about the first one coming out in the fall. I will let everyone know the publish date as soon as I get it.

As I sit here looking out the window on this cold snowy afternoon, I am happy we are able to enjoy the little things in life. Heat, a sweet kitty, and sunny day can have all sorts of ramifications. It is also my birthday and my husband's. So we always find a great way to celebrate together. This year, we took a trip up to see my son in New York. It was a great time as I had not been since 1974 during the garbage strike. We were all over Times Square, Central park, Koreatown, Chinatown, and Queens. I enjoyed it so much, I am making plans for another trip soon.

Go and have a nice cup of hot chocolate or tea and stay warm out there. Hopefully, spring will have sprung by the next time we chat.
