The Solstice is Past
The earth is journeying back toward the summer solstice in its perennial voyage around the sun, and the days are already growing incrementally longer. It's always struck me odd that we mark the beginning of winter by the moment that happens. Yet we all know the bulk of the weather patterns we associate with winter are still to come. The good news is that, by this time in January 2010, we'll have roughly 30 more minutes of daylight, and more to come each day until late June.
Best wishes to all my readers at this holiday season built around the winter solstice, and best wishes, too, for a happy, healthy prosperous new year!

I recently acquired a copy of your book "Stedman" for my brother-in -law Bill. He is only half way through the book and has labelled you a gifted writer. He is really enjoying the book. I can't wait till it's my turn. I don't know if I ever told you that I have been working on a book for five or six years. Those things are so hard to read you know. HaHa!
Seriously the world is much richer with someone like you who can write so well!
