You're all over the place, and getting so many books out, I can't keep up with you. I wish I had your energy. It's wonderful that you still love writing. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Sometimes, I feel burnt out, yet other times I feel compelled to write.

Now that I have eight audios and have been on Amazon's bestseller list, I'd like to write a book that makes the NY Times' list, not unlike most writers.
