I'm so excited to be an academy award winner. Someone handed me this, I thanked the academy and my mom. Such an honor.

I am excited my books are now available at the Old Haunts Bookshop LLC in Granite Bay, CA. As an indie author, it's hard to get books on the shelves. I am thankful this indie bookstore is taking a chance.

I'm really missing my dad today. Our last Xmas together was 2021. I miss him all the time, but after taking down the tree and ornaments (including those made/bought for him) there is an extra feeling of melancholy.

Sending huge hugs and prayers for comfort to others feeling the void this holiday.
