Happy Hello Dear Readers!

This missive sends you best wishes for the year 2010. I hope for each of you a blessing - filled new year. I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for your ongoing interest in my writing work. I appreciate your loyalty.

I am again in my Castle in Myrtle Beach, SC. I can see the Atlantic from our balcony. In fact, we are so close it seems from some angles that we are in a ship or boat.

My activities here are strictly writing on my women in combat book. After a tremendously rewarding and busy fall, I need this time just to write. It is a bit on the cool side, 30s and 40s, but nothing like the temperatures we left behind in Iowa, and of course, there is no snow or ice.

I'll be in touch, but meanwhile, may your 2010 be off to a good start.

Cheers! R
