A Gift For You and Me
I love holiday time, especially when I receive a surprise gift. Today, I got a Google Alert that let me know Erin Kelly included me in a short article she wrote for Psychologies (it’s a big magazine in UK and other European countries).

I was recently interviewed in a new podcast: A Couple of Writers by Ron and Debbie Tracy.
This interview was focused on me as an author and the writing process. I don’t think I’ve had an interview like this before. I really enjoyed meeting Ron and Debbie; I felt we were kindred spirits. I suspect this podcast will become very popular, especially with writers.
