My Patreon will launch in 1 week! I took all the results of the poll and I have hopefully created fun and appealing tiers. About my Patreon: I'm trying something new for the next 6-7 months. If it works, I'll continue, but if I end up not liking it, I'll stop it in September or October. I will be starting a monthly subscription membership on a new Patreon account. I will be posting the chapters of my current book ( Lady Wynwood’s Spies, volume 7 ) so you can read ahead of when the ebook will be edited and published. My current plan is to post 1-2 chapters weekly. One reason I’m switching things up is that I want to get closer to my readers and build a tighter, more intimate community with you. You can comment on each chapter of my book, give a reaction, ask a question, or even correct mistakes. My books will become a dialogue with you. If you subscribe to my Patreon, you'll be charged monthly and have access to all the benefits for the tier you subscribe to. The

This reader's letter is how I view things. It also delves into fetal organ harvesting, which is really only a step away if people continue to support embryonic stem cell harvesting. That's the "what if?" in my suspense manuscript BITTER DRAGON.
I love the news that donated umbilical cord stem cells saved this baby's life from a genetic immune disease, but I hate how they slipped in hype about how embryonic stem cells would somehow be so much better. ESCs are totally unrelated to this child's new life. How would "blank," pluripotent ESCs be superior to multipotent umbilical stem cells, which are already predisposed to become the life-saving bone marrow she needed? That's my take. The article is nice in that it shows two children being saved by umbilical stem cells.
Aside: Well, I knew it couldn't last. After my husband's bout with the flu last week, I have finally succumbed--at least a little. Sore throat and stuffed head. My husband says I should think of it as a free flu shot, saving us $20. I shot him and hid his body in the backyard.
Writing: Since I'm feeling so miserable, I might as well go full monty and work on revisions to my suspense. Nothing like reveling in my writerly masochistic tendencies.
Award-winning author/screen writer John Desjarlais has an upcoming interview Monday, December 12th, on Gina Holmes's blog, First Novel Journey. Check it out! I know I will.

Thank you for making me spit out my Dr Pepper. LOL
If you've got a stuffy nose and feel really bad but don't want to die, you've got a cold. Not the flu.
And in any case, get baby, Camykins. :)
And go dig your husband back up before he gets something worse than a cold or the flu.
