A note to my readers and friends ...

The unthinkable happened.  In September 2007, I was diagnosed with malignant thyroid cancer.  I underwent surgery on November 13 to remove both the tumor and my thyroid.  Radioactive Iodine treatments followed in December.   The surgery and radiation treatments have left me with very little energy, but hopefully thyroid replacement medication will bring me back up to speed in the near future.

Fortunately I was able to complete the last book in my "Piece of Texas" series prior to being diagnosed.  THE TEXAN'S CONTESTED CLAIM should hit bookshelves around the country in mid-January.  As to future releases ... well, I'm not currently working on any new books.  At the present time, I spend most of my days sprawled on the sofa.  You might think that sounds like heaven, but after three months of having NO energy, sofa surfing wears mighty thin!   Hopefully my energy will return soon and I can get back to my computer and the next story I want to tell.

Wishing you the best in 2008!
