Ninja Emergency

Hello there, Esteemed Reader! So good to see you, especially just now. As you know, today was to be my glorious return to regular posting, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to put that off at least another week. It's too bad. I've got a whole host of great interviews lined up for you and some wonderful books to share, but they'll keep. They'll have to. My apologies to Tom Greenwald and to the other authors and agents who have been so gracious as to share their time with us. But I promise their interviews will be posted in the next week or so.

I hope your 4th of July was wonderful. Mine was not. I'm not going to share a lot of details, but I'm typing this in the waiting room of the ICU at an Indiana hospital where I've been camped out for the last 24+ hours. Both of my parents were injured yesterday and it's been touch and go. At the moment, it looks like we'll all be walking out of here, but we're not out of the woods yet. I'll be back with you soon, Esteemed Reader, and I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated and I need to get back to my family.
