In the United States, this is a holiday of feasting and being grateful for what we have.  I have a lot of be grateful for this year.  I have a wonderful family which increasing the population of my home in about an hour and a half.   It's going to be fun. I've made myself a promise not to over eat.  Seriously I have to watch the figure. 

Yesterday, I earned my high blue belt in Thai Kickboxing.  It's always nerve-wracking for me when I have to perform in front of other people.  I'd much rather just talk over tea, but that's not how it's done in kickboxing.  You have to demonstrate that you know your stuff.  LOL

I'm also grateful to have a part-time job.  Most writers I know have a day job to pay the bills.  Even those that have written for years have found that it takes a lot of successful books, before an author is self-supporting.  

Being published in romance changed my life this year.  I'm grateful to Tease Publishing LLC who published my sf/f/shapeshifter novella WHEN LOVE SURVIVES and my full length vampire romance novel THE STORMY LOVE LIFE OF LAURA CORDELAIS.  Both are up at http://www.allromanceebooks.com  that's All Romance Ebooks.   Next year, I'll go into print. Excited, again. 

Right now I have the final proof for A VAMPIRE FOR CHRISTMAS.  It goes back tomorrow.  It's a novella about a particular vampire who is so tongue-tied when he meets the girl of his dreams he almost loses her, and she has a special kind of power.  I'm not telling. You'll just have to wait. 

Even though, Thanksgiving is an American holiday, it's always good to feast and be grateful.  I wish you love.
