28 May 2009--the one year anniversary of the arson fire that destroyed my home, my belongings, and nearly me.

One year later and I am still here. Back home. Third book of my Scarabae Saga completed and being published soon. Another appearance scheduled on my friend Lesa's BlogTalkRadio show The Odd Mind 4 June at 10 PM EST/9 PM CST.

I survive. I have survived everything thrown at me. I'm still here, and I am not going away any time soon.

I have wonderful friends--no, family: Candy, Wade, Ronnie, Brandon, Sean, Stephanie, R'chel, Cole, Cathy way up in Thunderbay, Ontario, my Charlee and Heather and Neal, oh my!, and many others who encouraged me and provided strength when I needed it.

Baptized by fire, literally.

I made it through the one year anniversary. So this day means nothing. It's just another day.

I create everything I desire. And this is the start of my new world.
