Dearly Beloved Y'all:

Surgery is upon me! One month of general surgery in the county hospital, two weeks of transplant in the university hospital, two weeks of cardiothoracic (aka heart surgery) at the VA hospital. As you might guess, I won't be posting much on this blog during that time. For what's been happening in my head and heart, please see the previous post. Meanwhile, the best place to catch up with me is my personal Facebook page. Sadly, for whatever reasons, I seem to have lost the knack for twitter. So…please forgive my neglect there. On a happier note, I am excited to announce three upcoming authorial events. Hope to see you at one of them.
