I've really enjoyed the short stories You've given us this season.<br /><br />So pleased to hear that your earlier books are being reissued in trade paper. I have people I want to give them to in order to hook them on the series. Because I've lost so many books through lending them, I just won't lend my great favorites anymore. I buy one to give instead.<br /><br />Happy New Year! It's clear that 2012 is going to be a wonderful year for you already from this news, but I hope it will be packed with even more wonderful things for you and the family!Linda Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11913741596693442469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-8797806535835509602011-12-30T20:02:20.981-05:002011-12-30T20:02:20.981-05:00Hank,

I think the short stories and the e-book releases are a great idea!<br /><br />And aren't the short stories fun? I have one coming out in a couple of weeks, my first ever. It's called Nocturne, and like your Christmas stories, takes place in the gap between books.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11519514786198185277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-48851554518220720112011-12-30T14:26:10.696-05:002011-12-30T14:26:10.696-05:00So wonderful!
