I've always been something of a drama queen, or so my husband tells me.  Plus, I have a low pain threshold.  The combination of the two sent me to the hospital yesterday with the absolute assurance (on my part) that I was dying.  As Wayne was driving me into the local ER, I was giving him a list of instructions on what he needed to do in the event of my demise. Well, to make a long story short, I survived the ordeal, am feeling much better and shall live to write for yet another day. I am so sorry to have inconvienced those you who were planning to see me during the early part of my tour. Rest assured the signings will be rescheduled, and count on me for the rest of my tour!

Thank you so much for the well wishes and prayers on my behalf.  I am profoundly grateful!
