I am enjoying self-publishing because for nearly 25 years I tried to find an agent and no one was interested in my writing. So I left myself feel morose and then I took myself by the scruff of the neck, shook myself out, and ordered myself to get with the 21st century and self-publish! Peace.

Back in 1992, her first book was published in late September/early October and it did become popular as a Christmas gift. She remains one of the blessings of my life. <br /><br />I so hope you are feeling better now after that flu shot. I hope also that your immune system will now have the power to resist any flu that comes along. Peace.

I never knew just how far she roamed. I've never adopted a feral cat, but I have read the classic "The Fur Person" by May Sarton. And the cat in that story came to realize just what he was missing by being outside all the time. Peace.
