Below are a couple stories that ran in my absence, along with this week's Pets of the Week and Mystery Diner. This past week, I focused on updating my story budget, answering voluminous amounts of email, publishing some of the many community briefs waiting their turn for publishing, and scheduling quite a few interviews and story coverage for today and tomorrow.
Needless to say, I wrote almost no fiction. And probably won't this weekend, either, as it's a working weekend. But it's also the last weekend I'll be on call as the editor rotation has been restructured. And I've spent this week also catching up on medical tests (and some of those will spill into the weekedn).
Also, I'm reading at my grandson Ezekiel's school this afternoon (with Bertrand the Mouse in tow). But since I did spend most of last week in the nineteenth century, it is, as Melissa Marchellis would put it, "a fair trade."
So it's a weekend of regrouping. Next week should normalize out. At least that's the plan.
Speaking of plans and looking ahead, I do have several events scheduled into 2018 and will share those here soon. If you'd like a sneak peak, visit the Fetes and Feasts page at www.bryonyseries.com and the events page at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries.
Also in 2018, I'll be starting a newsletter. I'm giving away the first chapter of one of the books in the Before the Blood prequel as a "thank you" for signing up. Want to be included? Drop me a line at bryonyseries@gmail.com.
Now some quick information before the stories:
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."

Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.

Putting the money where the heart is
Kathy Miller will never forget how awful she felt when
Leeza's Place closed in early 2014.
"Sure I had lost my job, but it was more than
that," Miller said. "It was a feeling of being lost. I thought, 'This
must be how caregivers feel.'"
Pets of the Week: Nov. 27
Read the caption of each photo to find out about that pet,
including where he or she can be adopted.
Social worker at Joliet hospital discusses resources for
patients
Help is there. One only has to know where to look. And
social workers do.
Mystery Diner: Manhattan's Agave Azul has the quality of
food to keep you coming back
I was looking for a wide variety of food and chose the
sampler ($8.75), which had everything from chicken and beef flautas (two each)
to four triangles of cheese quesadilla, guacamole, pico de gallo and sour
cream.
