It’s always good to hear from readers who like the books you’ve worked on. Writing is such a solitary profession and you never know if anyone has given the material a look. It’s amazing how much encouragement a postive remark about the books gives you. I’m grateful. I spent part of Friday with a reporter from the Sacramento Bee. Al Pierleoni was kind and asked a number of thoughtful questions. The article is to appear in the Wednesday, January 16 edition of the paper. These are all very positive things, but I still miss my brother and would do anything to get beyond that darkness. Any day now…
