At this special time of year, I am so grateful for all I have been blessed with. Children who inspire me, a loving wife who takes such good care of me, and so many other things that I really don't deserve. Make sure you take time during all of the hullaballoo, to spend a few quiet moments with your family and friends. Everything can change in an instant. Hold tight and cherish the precious moments.

As for book three, I have had some trouble getting things to fall into place for release. I'm tied up with work, (those children aren't going to teach themselves) and everyone's schedules this time of year are just plain crazy! Most of the issues should be sorted out, and I'm hoping to finalize things for the book next week. If all goes well, EarthBound: Triple Threat will hit Amazon before next weekend!

It is such a thrill to release a book! I just need to remember that November and December are much too busy to keep planning for a release during either off those months. I had a great time doing a presentation on creating the universe for a story, for Wilson Elementary in Logan, Utah. The students were great, and the teachers were top notch! I look forward to working with Syracuse Arts Academy in February, and I have a few limited slots available at specific times for the rest of the school year.
