Deeply involved in the new book, and very happy and content with all things.
Thanks to all the people who have written to inquire about my delicate flower health. I am much improved, and have even been out in the garden, though it is so cold and wet there isn’t much to do just now.
There is a snow warning for Monday night! I will be very annoyed if if we get a dose, I am ready to move on and get more plants in the ground. I’ve already planted most of the raised beds, and I can’t recommend raised bed gardening enough. Takes minutes to do what used to take hours.
The pace on the books; steady and easy, and I have nothing but good things to say about it all, except the things publishers don’t want me to talk about. So know that I am completely happy and productive. And have time to work on A Distant Soil, which got all of my attention last weekend.
Also, more Stealth Tribes script showed up!
And I am rich in all things that matter.

Good on you, Colleen. I wish you continued happiness, contentment, and work.
That’s just a dream space. And it’s nice to see Aquaman taking pride of place over there on the left. A pity there’s no comparable Element Lad figure, eh?
I must admit: I am very happy with my studio space. The only thing I would wish for is more windows, but whatever. I am so glad I did not spend all that money converting the wellhouse. I have everything I need here.
Since we’ll be building a huge bay of bookshelves in the family room, there’s also less need for me to worry about storing all my books in the office.
I do love my Aquaman doll!
It looks like a very comfortable place to work, both physically and psychologically.
