I haven't posted to this blog in over a month, and the reason is that I am having the worst summer... At the beginning of July I broke my left ankle in two places. I was hiking with my dogs up a mountain along a rough trail and all of a sudden I lost my footing. Never mind that I was far away from the parking lot and alone...Luckily I had my cell phone with me and a signal. Firefighters came to my rescue with a stretcher. And the rest is history. I have been in a wheelchair ever since and not in a very good mood. Three more weeks in the cast, then one month in a walking cast. So, I have been working on my new novel this whole month and shying away from social media. Writing is the only thing that "picks me up" in tough times. But I'm back. More soon.
