Saying Goodbye
Hello, everybody! Sorry I haven't updated the website much lately. I got back from a vacation down south a week ago with my wife and received sad news when we landed in Toronto. My mom suffered a serious stroke while we were away, and chances are she has less than a week left. My mom lives in British Columbia, she's 92 years old, and she was living on her own right up until now. She's had a wonderful life, raised seven children, and put up with us for far too long. She deserves the rest.
It's been a tough few days, but at the same time it's been some of the best moments I've ever experienced. I had the chance to travel west with my daughter, Autumn, through the Rocky Mountains, and we shared a lot of precious memories and had a ton of laughs throughout the trip. I met up with all of my brothers and sisters again, and at one time we all actually sat together in one place. We raised our beer mugs and wine glasses to Mom and toasted her grand life, remembering all the good things she taught us. That was the first time we were all together in one spot in almost forty years! Too bad it takes something like this to bring a scattered family back together.
We've all agreed to keep in touch. We plan on meeting more often - as Mom always wanted us to. We love her, and we will miss her dearly.
I'm back home now and writing this letter to let you know I'm still writing! CRYERS Part 5 will be out a little later than expected (late May/early June), but I hope you can understand. The Last Playground is edited and almost ready to go. It should be available next week in eBook format, and in paperback a week or two later.
If any of you read and enjoyed Live it Again, you should be pleased to know I've started a new story entitled West. It's a novel about a guy travelling out to be with his dying mother. He recalls his life along the way and experiences a near death experience of his own. Yeah, there's nothing better than real life to tell a good fiction story.
So that's it for now. I'll keep in touch more often. Thank you for reading my stories - I promise to deliver a lot more of them in the near future.
