Dear Demon Hunters...

Dear Demon Hunters and New Arrivals,

I apologize for being absent from my blog. Since this spring, I have spent about a month in the hospital on four separate visits. Right after the New Year, I broke my left foot and tore a tendon. The cast caused a blood clot in my leg which traveled to my lungs (pulmonary emboli) and landed me in the hospital twice. Then in the past month on an unrelated issue, I was hospitalized twice for a colon perforation. No idea how that happened, though the doctors assure me it happens more than one would think! (I'm meeting with a surgeon in a few weeks, so wish me luck. Hopefully, I escape the scalpel.)

In the meantime, I've been getting in a lot of reading while I rest. I will have another book review ready shortly, so stay tuned.

As always, happy writing and happy reading to all!

Sincerely,

Nora B. Peevy

A Letter to My Readers

Dear Readers,

First, let me start by saying this is NOT a farewell letter and The Demon Stole My Pencil WILL be continuing. In the past month or so, I've been back and forth to the hospital dealing with some serious health issues resulting from my broken foot and a blood clot in my leg that broke off and went into my lungs. On my doctor's advice, I have been on strict bed rest and moved out of my two-story home into a ranch home. There've been a lot of changes for me lately.

While in hospital, I had a lot of time to evaluate my life in between the blood vamp visits (the constant blood drawing wore on me) and all the tests and doctors and a nice long, drug induced nap. LOL There were only two things I really thought about: my family and my writing. Everything else in my life I was pretty much okay with, but I figured I still had a lot of stories in me and I wanted to see them in print. I also wanted to see my family again. Thankfully, it looks like both of those things are possible, since I survived my ordeal. I have a long recovery ahead of me at home, but I'm still here, baby!

I hope you'll keep reading and join me tomorrow for my letter to librarians, in honor of National Library Week.

Thank you to everyone who has been checking on me.

I am still in need of some guest bloggers to fill in as I'm mending, so if anyone's interested, please contact me.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Demon Writer,

Nora
