Hi, and welcome to episode #95!
As I record this episode, it's Winter Solstice. The sky is loaded with clouds and the promise of rain, and trees laden with golden leaves punctuate the green of oaks and citrus that flourish in our neighborhood. I've baked and eaten more cookies than I should and will no doubt eat more because 'tis the season and our home feels emptier this year as it's our first without both of our sons.
Instead of my usual Wednesday episode, and as Wednesdays are for authors, I thought I'd answer questions I've received from listeners asking about my background, my books, why I started this podcast, and what I have planned for 2022.
