Publisher's Notes

It’s over…. 2009 is over. 

For some it was a year that they are glad to leave behind and for others it was a year that they wish would last forever.  I don’t know where you fall with those categories, but turning a new year over on the calendar does feel like a new start, just like Cheryl felt, a character in my new book, Paint Chips.  (Join my email Club to read it.)

I like to look at the New Year and feel anticipation for GREAT things.  You see, I don’t know what this year will bring so there isn’t any reason to think that there won’t be great things ahead.

I have enjoyed all the writing that I have been doing and just love sharing it with my website readers. 

And I’ve been painting too.  Some of my best work ever…. I do believe (oh, if I’m allowed to say that)

I feel a little like a recluse lately because all I want to do is stay home and work….and the weather has been accommodating me with that too.  We have had so much snow, wind and cold since December began, it makes it real easy to stay home.  Besides, when I stay home I don’t spend money..Haha.   

Today Church was cancelled because of the snow, so we took down our Christmas tree and decorations and packed everything away.  (I miss the warmth of the lights already.)  Then I sat and watched movies on TV.  You’ve got Mail was on, I love that movie!!  I’ve seen it dozens of times and although I know the ending, I still find myself hoping that Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan get together.  And then I cry at the end…of course.  (Sap) 

My email Club is a hit!   Members are joining every day, which is just wonderful!    And for three months now I have had the chance to give prizes away….so fun.

I encourage you to look over both TPR’s website and my website; I’m changing things on them all the time.  I know I haven’t been so good at updating this blog regularly but my New goal is to post an entry every week.   Yikes!  I’m going to do it, and I’ll let you hold me to it.  ….hey, with this entry I already have the first week of January done.

Be cool, stay warm and keep happy.   Tracy
