And thank you for asking about good things. So fun to read everyone's responses with good news and thoughts. I signed a contract for my third mystery and it was released in Oct. (I have worked on it off and on since June 2012) My hubby and I co-authored a book on vegetable gardening. It was a joy to share my writing world with him. And I must say we had delightfully delicious produce from our garden this past summer which is quite an accomplishment. Thanks.J.Q.
