Happy Turkey Day
It’s raining, but it’s warm and cozy in here. I’ve decided not to go to the grocery store–it will be a madhouse today, plus there’s nothing I really need. I’ve still done my hair and everything up as if I’m expecting to, and it feels good. There’s just something about dressing up for oneself.
So. Happy Thanksgiving, all. I have plenty to be thankful for this year, starting with my children and my career, all the way through my friends and my sisters, and ending up with the bestest present of all yesterday. I’m thankful for my Readers, each and every one. I’m thankful for my editors. I’m thankful, when it gets right down to it, that I’m still here. Every breath is a victory. I’m happy to get up in the morning and see this old globe is still spinning on a vast sea.
It’s been a rough fall–boy, is that ever an understatement. Plenty of times I didn’t think I’d make it. But I’m so, so glad I have. I’m glad I stuck it out, glad I held on–sometimes by mere fingertips. I’m very, very happy to still be here.
And I’m happy for you, whoever you are. If your eyes are touching these words right now, I am very happy you’re here. I’m thankful you’re around. Be gentle with yourself, okay? Someone is glad you’re around, even if it’s just me.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I bought a 13lb. turkey in a fit of marvelous insanity, and it’s beginning to smell really good in the oven. In a little while it’ll be time to start cooking some other stuff, and make some phone calls.
But for right now I’m just going to sit a bit and drink my coffee and be glad. Right now, at this very moment, life is good.

I’m thankful for great writers like you. And even though
is not the first time i read one of your books, this time something weird happen,, i cried. I’m an emotional person by design, but in your book ‘Night Shift”, almost at the end
when the rogue Were is going to be cremated and Jill has the conversation with Cenci and then lets her join her beloved in the pyre so they can be burned toguether. i just lost it, i started crying. And all i can say is, you just got yourself
another fan for life.
