All of us have been affected by the coronavirus. The publishing industry, like many others, has been one of its victims. When Black Opal Press accepted my manuscript, GLORY LOST, I was excited. Six months later, BOB had problems with staffing. Their headquarters is in Washington state, which was hit earlier than many states primarily because of the influx of ships. They also have been trying to organize since their corporation came under new owners. But two especially dedicated women there have been wonderful. Their dedication to their jobs under very fluid conditions is commendable. Susan and Gibby have worked hard to help keep everything afloat. I owe these two women a lot. I hope to be able to announce the release of GLORY LOST by next month, possibly a March release. If you are an author, please let us know where we can all purchase your books. To readers, thanks for your loyalty!

I am certain that we all have either had personal and/or professional hurdles to overcome after 2020. I pray that more of us will soon be vaccinated and that our world will be headed for a better 2021! Take care of yourselves, stay safe, and please get vaccinated!
