I wish each of you the merriest of holiday seasons and the healthiest of new year's.

It's been a long year. Our little group has been a terrific diversion for me. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. Hundreds of episodes from my four novels have been shared to the group. Over the months ahead, I hope to have all four novels available in paperback. I know many of you have expressed an interest in having your own copy. Self-publishing them is proving to be challenging, but it will be worth the effort if some of you actually buy a book. I appreciate your interest in my efforts to celebrate our remarkable heritage and the fascinating characters that bring that history to life. I wish each of you the merriest of holiday seasons and the healthiest of new year's.

Thanks again, Shannon

Clara's Best

My Christmas will be a festival of priceless memories and a celebration of hope, peace & joy.

My Bible is God's word especially for me. It's a big book with a simple message. Its message is hope, faith, charity and salvation. Depending upon my needs, its message to me may vary from its message to others. It's personal. God's word is a light to my path for my walk with my God. It says I will only enter God's kingdom if I approach Him with childlike faith, humility and love. It says God is love. It says I am to enter the world as a sheep among wolves, being wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove, and judging no one, lest I too be judged. It says, regardless of my wisdom, my knowledge of His word, and my sincere attempts at service, if I fail to share God's love, I've failed God. Beyond becoming a vessel for His love, God requires only that I do justly, and love mercy, and walk humbly with my God. All else is vanity and foolishness. While some consider Christmas to be pagan and hopelessly commercialized, my Christmas will be what I make it. My Christmas will be a festival of priceless memories and a celebration of hope, peace & joy.

Damn Bots!

Evidently the extremely high numbers of pageviews my blog has been receiving from overseas are merely harmless bots and not real people or actual visits. While this is disappointing, it explains a lot. It also explains why my book sales are not reflected by my blogs pageviews.

Clara's Best is the first of four novels I intend to publish during the next few months. I guarantee a blessing if you read them.

My novels are a celebration of my heritage, my testimony as a person of faith, and my sincere pursuit of world peace and a more perfect union. I know; that's a lot! They are the result of my lifelong effort to pen a series of adventure/travel books that present a vivid and historically accurate depiction of the American experience, while simultaneously introducing my readers to the amiable characters, real and fictional, who bear their heart and soul to the attentive listener. In all humility, I believe you'll find them captivating. I present them to you now for your approval. I can do no more. You're up. SC
