Rainy day in Oregon. I wonder what Walt and Danielle are doing. Think it’s raining in Frederickport? Probably.

In ten days, I was supposed to have knee replacement surgery. Unfortunately, last week my sister got knocked over by her son’s playful dog and broke her hip. She was supposed to come up and watch Mom for three weeks. The good news, her surgery went well, she is on the mend, but her recovery will take about three months, so no taking care of Mom for her.

But it wasn’t just about finding another caregiver for Mom; the hospital called days after my sis broke her hip and told me they had to postpone the surgery because of an anesthesiologist shortage. I’ll be rescheduling for the surgery center, instead of the hospital, but will push out the surgery for April (hopefully). It will give me time to finish The Ghost and the Wedding Crasher and make arrangements for Mom.

In other news, the audiobook for my last book, The Ghost and the New Neighbor, will be released in a couple days—on January 17, 2023. Once again, the talented Romy Nordlinger is our narrator.

My last couple posts have been about signed copies of my books—something I am now offering after repeated requests from readers. I have been trying to fine tune the process and expanding my offer.

I periodically go MIA from my blog when I get involved in projects and life in general. But now that I’ve wrapped up the 31^st book in my Haunting Danielle series I can take a breath and catch you up on what’s been going on.

We enjoyed our first summer in Oregon. Taking care of my 94-year-old mother, who has vascular dementia, has kept me somewhat homebound. So we didn’t do much exploring. But there was much to keep us busy on the Holmestead, such as tending to the vegetable garden, watching our son and daughter-in-law’s house go up next door, and do projects around here to make this our home.

My next book, The Ghost and the New Neighbor, the 31^st book in the Haunting Danielle series, comes out on November 22, 2022 in eBook format. November 22 also happens to be my birthday! I am turning 68! (Egads!!!)

The paperbacks—regular print and large print—are already available on Amazon, and the eBook, published by Tantor Media, is slated to come out in January 2023.

Before anyone asks—this upcoming book won’t be the last Haunting Danielle book. I’ve already put Book 32—The Ghost and the Wedding Crasher—on pre-order. It’s slated to come out March 29, 2023.

I have been having fun over at TikTok, posting book related content—and sometimes videos reflecting my personal views and giving a glimpse of my life. Watching the videos over there has been interesting—an insight to the younger generation and other cultures.

In other, more personal news, I’ve scheduled my knee replacement surgery for January 25, 2023. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with mom while I deal with my knee. My sister has offered to come out for about ten days to take care of her, but I’m not sure what I will do after that. But now that I have The Ghost and the New Neighbor wrapped up, I can focus on arranging help for mom.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday season. Be kind to each other.
