Wow, it's December already. December has always been my
favorite month of the year--not just because of Christmas, although that's a part of it. My birthday's
in December.
Granted, it almost wasn't. I was supposed to be born on January 20, but in the first of many times I've gotten an early start to avoid being late, I arrived on December 30. A nice little tax deduction for my parents? Maybe, although Daddy tells me I only cost $68.00 and I was born in two counties. Okay well, that's almost true. The town where I was born is Baldwyn, Mississippi, and it's built on the county line between Lee and Prentiss Counties in Mississippi. The Clinic where I was born was also built on the county line. So depending on which exam room I was born in, maybe I was born in two counties.
This year may not be my favorite year, and this
December may not be my favorite December. I'll be 60 on December 30 of 2007. I
have never minded any of my birthdays... not my 30th, not my 40th, not even my
50th. But 60 may bother me.
I'd
love to hear from any of you who feel like stopping by my myspace page and
saying hi this month in an effort to keep my spirits up. Go to www.myspace.com/mallorykane
Thanks in advance for helping me to greet my 60th birthday in
style.
Breaking News:
I just received a new
contract for three books which will be released back-to-back in April, May and
June of 2009 (tentative dates.) The title of the series is BLACK HILLS
BROTHERHOOD, and it's the story of three men who endured a near-death experience
and tragedy in their childhood that changed the direction of each of their
lives. They swore a blood-oath to dedicate their lives to rescuing the innocent
and bringing them back safe and sound. Now each man must put his life on the
line, not only for the innocent life they're trying to save, but for their
nation's freedom as well.
Stay tuned for upcoming information on the books, as
well as future projects I have planned for the Black Hills
Brotherhood.
