If your book club would like to met the author, please contact me a [email protected]

Happy Valentine's Day to family, friends and readers. Just when things aren't awful, they get worse. My husband fell while I was on a cruise. Our sweetheart daughter, Janine, handled the event beautiful. Nothing broken. Lots of bruising. I've been having back problems and have spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and two other issues I refused to hear about. Otherwise we a doing fine.

Greetings from sunny Florida
