My review column posted on Meridian today. The two books I reviewed are not Christmas books, but they both carry messages that are particularly pertinent this time of year.

I finished the first draft of my novella and it is now in the hands of my beta readers. Also my surgery went well and no malignancy was found.

Each year I post a column introducing new Christmas books. This year's column posted today. I apologize for the messy sentence at the end of the column. I can't even blame this one on auto-correct. A series of four trips to the hospital for minor surgeries and one simply for pain must have screwed up my brain. I'm doing much better now and hope I can catch such silly errors in the future before they appear in print. Merry Christmas one and all!
