I'm playing catch-up with the rapidity of the occurring events.
I wish to reiterate belated thanks to everyone for their kind words about the novels.  I'm doing my job when I'm giving you pleasure.
Stockholm (Wisconsin) Arts Festival was a first and we met so many nice folks, many who drove down from the Twin Cities and inland.  Thank you for sharing your family stories and experiences, not to mention the many budding writers I met, too.
