February

February is almost over, and what a month! It arrived with a burst of subzero temperatures in Maine. In the first week, it plummeted to -22 F, -44 with windchill. Two weeks later, it was raining. My dad, who just turned 73, said it’s the first time in his entire life it has rained on his birthday. Find a middle ground, February.

Big announcement! My debut novel, Drained, will be released on April 10th by Champagne Book Group! Becoming a published author is a dream come true for me. I can’t believe it’s happening!

Maine Magic

The Menagerie

Our pug mix, Reld, had surgery to remove a rapidly growing lump from her throat. The tumor came back benign, and she’s healing up well. The new puppy, Ray, started doggy daycare this month. We hope it will make him less neurotic than Reld. Pan, the forest cat, continues to accompany me on my winter walks in the woods. Summer cat’s new hobby is taking my gloves off the shelf by the door and depositing them around the house. I have no idea what she’s trying to accomplish. My human kiddo scored her first basket at her first game of the year.

See you next month!
