THE WRITE PAGE” Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.” – Groucho Marx I love the night skies and tonight the GREEN COMET should be visible in the early morning hours. You’ll find me driving around, searching for a spot where city lights won’t interfere with viewing a comet that hasn’t been seen in over 50,000 years! During the daylight hours, I wish for more moderate weather. The crazy temperatures and precipitation in all forms are wreaking havoc on our dog-walking schedule but we try to get out when it’s above 0 degrees Fahrenheit. The cold, dark evenings do lend themselves to nestling by a fire and reading which is a good thing. I just finished Rhys Bowen’s Molly Murphy Series and so enjoyed the history. I am looking forward to reading J.M.Poole’s “The Case of the Unlucky Emperor,” available February 2 (and if you like light-hearted fantasy adventure try out his Bakkian Chronicles!) Another title to share is “The Fred Factor” by Mark Sanborn – how passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Happy reading!
