Sometimes life sucks. Mum died on Xmas day and will be buried on the 19th January. She had late stage dementia and didn't know anyone at the end. I will miss her.

On the other hand looking at the good things in life our plans to move to Bonaire are moving along, we have agreed to buy a house over there and our house in The Netherlands is up for sale. So anyone want a five bedroom house in the middle of nowhere? Sales of the books are continuing to rise and we had a record month in December with the release of Exile. The 12th book in the series is half written.

I guess how ever bad things get you have to balance that with the positives.
