I’m Back
You probably didn’t notice, but I stepped away for a few days. A fall off a step ladder while painting caused a short delay. A fall from a few feet off the ground resulted in a great deal of soreness, whining and a tube of Icy Hot. I’m fine now but must say that I can’t believe some of the stupid stuff I did as a kid. For instance, I did not think anything of accepting a double dog dare to jumping off a garage roof on to a driveway. Yeah, those days are long gone. So sad.
The rest of the time away was much more fun. After a family get-together, Kassia picked me up in route and drove us out to the desert where we shared a “girls’ spa weekend” with Wendy. Ahhhh, I love reaching the far side of a deadline. We did have some tense moments at the spa. In case you’re wondering, something called a mustard bath is actually a good thing. Other than trying to bake ourselves in the steam room, we had a lovely time. We chatted. I whined. They told me to shut up. Fun was had by all.
The reality is that a brief break between books is a good thing. Helps to refresh and recharge. Gives a bit of space between projects to think and relax and plan and focus on something other than how to make the words on the computer screen make sense. And, as I now know, not pounding away on laptop for two full days helps a sore shoulder heal faster.

I’m glad that you were able to take a breather. Relaxation does a body good.

I hope your shoulder feels better soon. I have two herniated discs in my back and they are currently acting up again and I can sympathize with your pain. LOL
Don’t wait to long to start writing. We (the readers) don’t like to wait for books. LOL

Feel better soon. Got back from Fla today and got the Foster book in the mail. Will read it as soon as I can - Shall I sent the review to your email when I am done?

Sounds like you had a great time at the spa.

Thanks guys! I feel much better. It’s amazing what spa weekend can do for an injury.

Glad you weren’t hurt more seriously. Take care of that shoulder - its connected to that hand that types those wonderful books. Keep them coming Suzanne
