Fooled you! No, we do not have the motorhome yet and no, we are not expecting, or giving up our wandering lifestyle.
Doug has written a book. After three years, it is done. It will probably surprise most of you and it will particularly surprise our family by its content.
And who the heck is Abigail Borden ;)? You'll have to read the book to find out.
My feelings are quite mixed. I am immensely proud of him. He wrote this through the eyes of a woman. He worked on this for three years. He is a perfectionist so it is perfect. He had always wanted to write a novel mostly because wanted to see if he could. We printed a hard copy and shared it with a couple of my good friends. Their encouragement led him to self-publish. It is now on Amazon at the link at the bottom of the page.
My other feeling is - Thank Goodness! I have had to keep this a secret, something I have an incredibly hard time doing, for three long years. I have spent long, long days of having to be quiet, something also very difficult for me.
It has been fun too. I am a stickler for grammar as you know. I edited. He changed it and changed it again. There are things in the book only a woman would know, that was me! I read it in bits, several times.
So if you are interested go to:
www.amazon.com/Jumping-Off-Douglas-E-Laird-ebook
It is available as an e book and as a paper back. Please let Doug know what you think and please leave a review.

This is SO exciting! I read part of the forward and it caught my imagination so I ordered mine and am looking forward to reading the rest of it.
Congratulations to Doug. This is very exciting. I will check it out.
I now know if I tell you to keep a secret...you will.
Congratulations to Doug and Congratulations to you for being able to keep a secret.
Uh oh. Sorry.
Whenever I read a book where I know the author(s) I always wonder how much of them are in the book. Hmmm. Aftershocks, huh?
I'll read it. Honest I will but it just might take me a bit! Hopefully your other news is coming soon!
