End of August

Where does the summer go?  Almost Labor Day and I'm not ready for fall.  The heat wave is over and as it's cooled off the flowers are beginning to bloom again.  Nice to have the roses back, I love to have a vase on my desk as I work - and - work I am!

Two more weeks till the surgeon releases me but I am using my hand more.  I'm not sure how long the stiffness will be there but it's much better, I can actually type again.  Not like normal but not the two-finger hunt and peck style either :)

Which means the book can progress and should be available in stores sometime in October.  The Winter issue of Art Doll Quarterly will be out November 1st. If you are on the list for the first copies you'll be getting an e-mail by the end of September with ordering information.

Thanks again for hanging in there with me and for all the good thoughts you've sent my way.  My husband used to have a sign in his office, Constant Change is here to stay!  That's how I feel sometimes :)  There are so many people involved in producing a book and so many little details I never thought about  - it's been a real education for me.

Surgery successful

I had the surgery last month, the stitches came out Monday and everything looks good.  Now it's just waiting for it to heal so I can begin to use it again.  I am still hunt & peck typing with one hand and a couple fingers - so it's very slow.  Thanks to all who have inquired and are still waiting for the book. Things should move quickly now.
