I cannot believe how fast these kids are growing up. Walking, talking, reading. I keep thinking the next time I blink they’ll be in junior high. The grandparents are on their way home now, but they got to see the baby who is now a toddler turn two. It was great to have them here, and great to take some time off to enjoy the company.

This is also my two-year anniversary in print; two years ago on my dad’s birthday, Ellora’s Cavemen Legendary Tails II released. Then I went into labor with the baby and didn’t see my first book in print on shelves in a bookstore for weeks. And two years later, the cover of my next print release is on the cover of Complete Woman. How freaking cool. And how far from anything I imagined two years ago. Here’s to birthdays and anniversaries and milestones. And most of all, here’s to cake and family to share it with!
