My region was blessed with a very mild winter. We were due for some relief after several horrible years. De todos modos, the result is that Spring is coming a month early, from the looks of it. The trees are already sending out leaves—they are in that stage when everything looks a little hazy because of the new shoots. The bulbs are blooming too. I love hyacinths, and they are poking up everywhere now.
My own winter was interesting, and brought some changes that I will be revealing in the next few months. Mi próximo libro, La traviesa de Duke, went through production and it is ready to go for its May 31 release. I really like this book, and the hero surprised me in many ways as he emerged from his secondary character status to take the lead. I think, by the time the book ended, that he surprised himself too. Please take a look at the excerpt on the book’s page.
Peace on Earth. Three simple words. No matter what our faith or beliefs, we all can agree that Peace on Earth would be a good thing. So this season, let us all pause and think about the wonderful world we would have if only we could achieve Peace on Earth. It may be unlikely. It may be impossible. We should still hope and, if we are religious, pray for it.

Piloto Varsity plumas desechables en colores surtidos. Tengo estos y los amo. Son baratos y los colores son divertidos. Escritura Pluma está pasado de moda, sino un placer. You can usually find the set for around $15 en la gran Un, pero algunos vendedores en línea cobran mucho más.
Ponte de pie escritorio. Estos pueden tomar tiempo para acostumbrarse a, pero salir de esa silla es bueno para los escritores! Caro, but it may be just what your writer wants or needs.
A ruana, also for snuggling and reading, or for keeping warm, but not too warm, at the computer. Ruanas are sort of like shawls, but shaped more, and sort of like lightweight ponchos, but split up the middle. I write in my various ruanas all winter. See tips under snuggly throw for fabric content.
A chair/couch desk. Here is an inexpensive one that I know works, by Table-mate. It isn’t fancy, but it does the trick. There are others available in various designs and many price points. This one can be bought in Bed Bath and Beyond or Walmart, if they are in stock when you go, and also at various places online. This one is adjustable, and just the right size for a laptop or one of those tablet stands. Mine even has a little pull-out place to put a drink. If you start researching these, make sure that what you buy is not too hard to adjust. También, if you want to use it at a sofa or easy chair, make sure the wheels or base will slide under the front of the chair (many will not—they are too high.)
A reader’s side table. Narrow enough to fit any space, and sturdy enough to hold books and coffee cups, these are practical little tables for a reading nook. El de la foto es de Levenger, que también tiene otros regalos lector fresco.
