It has been a long time – too long – since I've chatted with you all here. I've missed you!
If you didn't know what happened, why I disappeared, it's because my husband John was in a motorcycle accident five months ago. That completely changed my life. Suddenly, my world was about hospitals and surgeries, and then being an at-home caregiver. (Boy, do I have more respect for all you parents and caregivers out there!)
Even as John was healing, there was little he could do with a multi-broken leg. We recently moved out of our apartment and I had to do nearly all the packing. John helped by taping boxes from his chair, and packing up dishes while sitting in the kitchen. But that was a chore I hope to never have to repeat.
As you can imagine, with all my time taken up with taking care of John, and then driving him back and forth to work when he returned (we owned a stick-shift until a couple weeks ago, so John couldn't drive), the amount of time I had to work felt miniscule. The second superhero book, Superhero in the Making, had to be put on hold (though it should be out later this year). I did meet my deadline for getting Unexpected Superhero out on audiobook in May, though. Very exciting! And I managed to get my booth up at WonderCon and Cherry Capital Comic Con. At least I was able to make some of my commitments.
Life isn't back to normal yet, but we're getting there. I hope to stay in touch with you here at least a couple times a month. Please forgive me that my web site has some issues right now. I'll fix them as soon as I can. But I figure that getting back to work writing books and stories for you to read is better! 🙂
I can't wait to share some fun things with you over the next few weeks. Progress is being made, and there's nothing more fun than sharing it with friends!
Meanwhile, enjoy these last days of summer. If you're looking for something to read, remember that “Superhero in Disguise” is a free short story that starts the Adventures of Lewis and Clarke series. And if you joined Kindle Unlimited, you can read Unexpected Superhero for free.
Now – back to work with me! 🙂
