Dear Reader,
I had a good cry yesterday. The holidays are a fun and magical time, but they're also filled with memories. Family and friends who aren't with me any longer and friends who are fighting cancer right now, these thoughts are all mixed in with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head.
I guess I'm mentioning this because yesterday when I interacted with an obviously very angry man in the aisle of the supermarket, at first I was feeling pretty upset with the guy, even caught myself thinking, 'What's his problem? Why is he being such a nasty person, especially around the holidays?'
But then I reminded myself that life is complicated, especially this time of year. Life goes on like any other day, people lose their jobs, families are split apart, folks are feeling lonely because this is the first Christmas since their spouse passed away, and others are worried their parents might not be around to celebrate next year.
I had a good cry yesterday--and now I feel much better. I sure hope the man I met in the supermarket gives himself that gift, too.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
May you find peace this Christmas,
Suzanne Beecher

AUTHORBUZZ: DARK HEART OF MAGIC (YA Fantasy) by Jennifer Estep
I've always loved stories about tournaments, where the heroine has to test her wits against others. As a thief, seventeen-year-old Lila Merriweather tries to keep a low profile. But when she's picked to represent the Sinclair Family in the Tournament of Blades, Lila finds herself in the spotlight--and the target of a dangerous enemy.
The second book in my Black Blade young adult urban fantasy series.
