UPS AND DOWNS
It was wonderful to receive the Sasquatch Award in Yakima, Washington on Friday. I met the most wonderful people …. and you’ll hear and see more about that soon. Folr now, thanks so much for the warm welcome. And you’ll hear more about my plane trip with Judy Schachner , yep, that Judy Schachner of Skippyjones Jon!
For now, I am, for the second time in two weeks, spending 24 hours at home and then returning to St. Louis. My father is very ill. He is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday. I was originally in NY to see my wonderful Humphrey editor, Susan Kochan, and paperback editor, Jen Bonnell. When I got a call about my dad, Susan turned her office over to me to make arrangements to hurry to St. Louis. I was there Saturday to Wednesday. There was a lull in his treatment and with Dad’s heartfelt approval, I went to Washington as planned. I got home late last night and am leaving at the crack of dawn tomorrow for as long as I need to be here.
No great options here, but Dad is a trouper and a fighter - always.
I’ll catch up when I can. Until then, if I don’t get to your email or request, please understand.
