Hi, folks!

I'm sick right now, and the only thing that makes me feel better is writing, so I wrote this Christmas story featuring Jaycee, the heroine of my novel Different Roads, and I just posted it at Authors Den. Check it out when you get a chance.

Joyce,
That was a really good story. You have a way with words and thoughts and the ability to get them across to the reader that is very heartening. Thanks for the link and thanks for the wonderful Christmas present the story gives. Hope you feel better soon and Happy Christmas and Merry New Year......

Thanks, Claudia. It was a challenge to find anything uplifting about Jaycee's childhood, but she does find out much later on that everything happened for a reason.

I hope you have a holiday season filled with blessings that will continue throughout the New Year!

What's this? Is it a little tear on my cheek? No, it couldn't be. Everyone
knows big boys don't cry.

That was a touching read, Joyce. Great job.

Woo hoo! I live to make big boys cry!

Thanks, Bill, you big sap. Apparently, you have more in common with Bud than just gorgeous legs!

Damn you Joyce. You push my buttons every time. Maybe you should get sick more often.
