Short update

So yeah, all in all this has been an exceptionally shitty year.

It started out with a reasonably nasty cancer diagnosis (not me, but close enough to turn my world upside down), continued with a huge graduation celebration and subsequent move of kiddo #1 to college (ten hours away), divorce (yup, me) and subsequent sale of house in need of some fixing up, and subsequent purchase of new house in need of sorting out. Add to that my day-job, kiddo #2, a couple of dogs, elderly parents... and a friggin’ tennis elbow when I do not in any way play tennis. Or *shudder* golf for that matter.

I don’t mean to whine and please don’t feel sorry for me, I don’t – life happens to all of us and I just got hit with a lot of life at the same time. The cancer is responding to treatment and splitting up was surprisingly amicable (he got the Harley; I got the dogs, so we’re both happy).

Anyways, I figured I’d let you know in case you wonder if I’ll ever publish anything again. I totally will, I just need to catch my breath for a little while.

Oh, and I’ve given in... I am now on Facebook, so if anyone wants to be a friend or follow or whatever then here’s where you go:
Mia on Facebook

I also created a group where you get to take a look at Petter Hagen;
Mia Malone's stories

No clue what to do with this whole social media thing, but I guess I’ll figure something out, LOL!

So, shitty year but things are looking good from where I am right now and I’m writing again...

Take care of yourself and those you love.

K. Wishing you nothing but happiness and furniture that will make dog hair magically disappear.

Mia Malone Thank you ladies!

And dear Lord, if such furniture exist, please send it my way. They are furry, they are big, and they are black... Oh well, at least I get to tell people that I wake up every morning with two big boys on top of me, LOL!

K I’m glad to hear things are starting to go better for you! Take good care of you and your family, we can all wait for your books... they are that good!

I’m excited to see you’re on social media— I refer lots of people to your books and they love them! Unfortunately those links didn’t work for me. I’ll check back later.

Hope things keep looking up for you!

Thank you! We are doing well, it was simply a few shitstorms coming my way... in other words; life. It happens to all of us and I guess the only thing you can do is keep walking, one step at the time :)

I messed up on the Facebook stuff apparently, think I’ve sorted it out so will post another thing abt that in a sec. In my defense, I did warn y’all that social media really wasn’t my thing, LOL!
