Happy Friday, readers, writers, vampire fans, and everyone else!
Except for a bit of editing, I haven't spent any time with Before the Blood since my writing retreat, but that's going to change starting tomorrow.
Because the company has restructured weekend coverage, I no longer have to serve as a news editor every third weekend, which leaves me free to tackle more features on weekends and get back into a regular writing schedule for my fiction and marketing.
Needless to say, the news came as an early Christmas present to me, which I celebrated by covering an open house of the Will County Model Railroad Association last weekend (story below, videos uploaded later).
Today reading at my grandson Ezekiel's school this afternoon (with Bertrand the Mouse in tow), for real this time. On my way to the school last week, I learned Ezekiel was sick. At the teacher's request, I rescheduled for today, because she really wanted me to read when my grandson was there. so it was a good change of plans.
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:

'The Grandfather Tree Goes Down' in Romeoville
June Kobzina recalls that fateful Sunday as sunny and rather
non-eventful: she went to church, weeded her garden and had lunch. While
working a crossword puzzle, Kobzina half-heard the TV mention something about
storms, not really paying attention until it grew extremely windy and heavy
rain and hail fell.
"One minute the backyard tree was there," Kobzina
wrote. "And the next minute it was gone."
Dreams about childhood on Joliet’s East Side
“Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.”
That’s the famous opening line in one of my favorite novels,
“Rebecca” by Daphne du Maurier. It’s a
line that often replays in my head when
I dream about my childhood home on Belmont Avenue.
An Extraordinary Life: Joliet woman was a 'walking Jesus'
“If you had to pick her up, and you were six, eight minutes
late, she’d already made adjustments and gone about her business,” Bob King of
Joliet , Anna King's brother, said. “Being prompt is a very important key to
understanding anyone’s time. And she made it a point by saying, ‘People who
don’t wear watches don’t value their time.’ ”
Be a Santa to a local pet

It was Tuesday, which meant burger and chicken specials.
Joliet man pens devotional unlikely to be forgotten
“They’ll only make 52 changes a year,” Hansen said, “but
more than they normally would."
