It's been a busy, chaotic, and challenging several months. I moved, went through a divorce, and bought a house. But with spring came new hopes and spiritual growth.
Ellie's been loving spring, too. In between all the hikes, it's now warm enough for her favorite activity of all: swimming!

Looking forward to when it warms up enough that our walks will last longer than the time it takes to put on all our gear.

I've been offline forever as I needed some personal time to adjust to a new life with just my dog at my side and moving to a new house in a new town. It's all good and right for my life's journey. Just finally getting my headspace opened up enough to start writing again.

Done! Just finished writing Redline Corps, the first book in a new science fiction series and my 41st novel. It's a twist on the usual military sci-fi with the protagonist, Liv Reyes, being a war journalist rather than a soldier.
