Hi everyone! I hope everyone's day was the best it could have been and that everyone of us got many good books to enjoy. To the authors, thanks for making Killer Characters a place we enjoy visiting, not just for the possibility of a giveaway, but also for interesting insights into the characters and stories we love or those we have wished we knew more about. I hope we all enjoy this holiday and every day that follows. I end with the very famous line, "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"

Happy New Year. (Merry Christmas a day late). The family spent the day. We played cribbage and other card games, exchanged presents, and stuffed ourselves with ham, potato casserole, slaw, and chocolate pie. It was a wonderful day. The sun was out and it was "warm" Thoroughly great day.
