My wife and Mother-in-law are putting together a "Meet the Author" Event at the bookstore for 1:05 a.m. An ice Era Chronicle. I am honored that they are going through all this preparation. I would tell them it isn't necessary, but I'm pretty sure that would burst their balloons. (That's both literal and figurative.)

Anyway, i know some of you (the ones near me in Minnesota) will be stopping by. I am excited to visit with some of my friends and who knows, I might even make some new ones. I know what you're thinking... isn't he a crabby war vet? Yes I am, but I will be charming for that afternoon. I promise. 

     I am continuously getting myself into trouble. I have spent countless days and nights pouring over this novel, and I am sure there will be even more books to follow. I have neglected household chores, vehicle maintenance, and my responsibilities to my volunteering to name a few. There is one person who deserves my undying praise through this whole process. That person is my best friend and my wife.

     Monica, you are amazing! My wife is the tug boat that moves my over-sized dreams around. She has pushed, pulled, and reorganized my life to have everything fall into place. Monica is solely responsible for researching out publishing houses, and selecting Stephanie with the Troll River Publications. Not only does she cover my butt with household chores, Monica is one of my mostest, bestest, critical editors. Without you this book would still be under my bed, or worse, still stuck in my head.
​
     This all started about three years ago on a long road trip. Monica talked about books she has read, and how she couldn’t find the book she wanted to read. That is when I told her my idea of a book. I had her hooked. Now I should admit she added the love story to the novel. I don’t regret her additions at all. Watching Karma and Rea’s story unfold on the pages before our eyes has been amazing. I look forward to seeing what comes of Nova and Arrow. 2:05 a.m. An Ice Era Chronicle (Book 2)
I love you, Bestie!
