E-books are great for readers like those of us who read a lot, however, there is something so totally cozy about having a printed book in hand.
It has been a long process, lots and lots and lots of editing, but we are rounding the corner and soon MY GREEN GROCER will be a book in hand!

Memory is tricky these days. People say, “I’m getting old, senile, my brain is a sieve, I’ve just had a brain-fart (what does this mean??)
As for myself I keep shopping, then counting presents, then shopping some more. All the while dreaming about skipping this ridiculous part of Christmas. Jesus got 3 gifts from 3 wise men; why do we get more?
The number one gift of the season-is not some new form of mechanical Elmo-it is guess what?
E-readers.
OH YES! NOW I REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGOT!! It was to buy: My Green Grocer, or City Boy, A Love Story About A Guy A Girl And A Gun, or My Carrick Irish Boyfriend. Or all three! A few dollars and you can even up the gift score.
Or,
Escape the mania; slip into your bedroom; lock the door, and read. If anyone knocks you just call out, “I’m wrapping presents,” then rattle a piece of paper that you are keep handily nearby.
About the photo, it is a church project, gifts for children in third world countries.
Waaaaaaweeeeehooooohaaaa! I have a new baby grandson! He is the cutest sweetest baby ever born! And I mean it.
One of my readers said, “waaaaaaweeeehooohaaaa! You have a new grandson! How cool! Wait a minute, does this mean the sequel for My Green Grocer will be delayed?”
Yes, kind reader, yes. Just look at that little face…
However,
I am working hard on it, “Fruit, Poison, Murder and Marriage,” (sequel title) and it will be out by mid to late February.
This book is packed with original plot, characters, and creativity. Ransom Riggs is a model and talented author. I look forward to the movie.

Donni is desperate for freedom from the rigid rules imposed on her at home and in school. Then she meets Eilis Timon, a senior at St. Bridget’s and then Patrick, her Irish-twin. The Timon family have recently moved from London to Chicago in an attempt to make a fresh start and save Mr. and Mrs. Timon’s marriage. Mrs. Timon is in the throws of mental illness and nobody knows what she’ll do next. Did she murder her cousin and close friend-Frank-in a fit of anger? Someone killed him.
Enter Mickey, a fun loving friend of Patrick’s. The four high school seniors-or rather the two couples-work together to untangle the tethers of Donni’s parent’s overprotection. They venture out to explore Chicago’s offerings, some of which includes biking the Lake Michigan shore, watching shows at the planetarium and the Music Box Indy theater, and even working at a homeless shelter. However, an obnoxious homicide detective keeps dampening their good times. They are all suspect; there are no alibis.
