Many readers know I was MIA for several weeks.  My mother had knee-replacement surgery; then, after two weeks, we both came down with acute bronchitis.  Thast was not fun.  (I’m still trying to recuperate!)  Since I was four hours from my doctor, I drove myself to the ER.  I was sooo sick.  As I told a couple of people, I was amazed to wake up each morning on this side of the dirt.
 
In the meantime, my marketing assistant, Tara Green, was hard at work.  The woman never sleeps.  So it was quite amusing that, right before my book hit the stores, Tara announced my online book launch party.  And there I was at my mom’s, both of us too sick to die.  Naturally, my friends and family got a huge kick out of it.  Instead of drinking champagne to celebrate, I was tossing back antibiotics and trying to get my fever down.  My mother was attempting to learn how to use a walker until she could get around without it.  It was all we could do to take a shower, much less put on makeup and do our hair.
 
Some party, huh?
