Friday Flowers…
Glorious autumn colours… But I received these flowers earlier this year. I don’t remember why or what the occasion was, but I will remember them for a long while yet.

I can’t be the only one getting these emails, but no one else has mentioned them yet. Every blessed morning, I get at least one or two messages from representatives of Publishing Houses or Literary Agents. All promising to successfully market one or another of my books. These emails are long, well-written, and sincere. Full…
