But I still have plenty of photos, memories, and experiences to share until next year…

I wish you could have been a passenger in our car, driving home through the Everglades this morning. We saw hundreds of wood storks, great blue herons, white egrets, hawks, ospreys, and kingfishers. Plus, a few alligators. It was a riot of birds and wildlife.

Next Monday’s newsletter (I only send one per month) reveals behind the scenes tears and drama about the creation of my book cover. The journey from the first cover art that I created and loved, all the way to the final one that Dreamsphere Books created that you see today. You can sign up on my homepage and get a free short story for Valentine’s Day. Caw!
