Sweeten the Weekend before Thanksgiving -- with a Free Book!

These days, I'd rather wander by the pond than watch news on tv. Yesterday, the pond had iced over a bit, and the ducks were standing atop ice, refusing to float in those few inches of half-melted puddles of icy water. Canada geese are still circling south, though every once in a while, one flies alone, honking as if the sound will bring him back to the flock.

I'm grateful for much this Thanksgiving -- and sorrowing as well -- as we all are in our own way, facing challenges again and again. Each small choice brings its own cost and creates a new path. What helps me most is being close to family, not watching the news, and writing.

So, Happy Thanksgiving where you are. Maybe this will brighten your day: Just this weekend, you can download The Seventh Tapestry (Kindle version) for free. That's November 21 through November 23. 

When I think back to how The Seventh Tapestry began, I remember sitting in that small museum in Paris, the National Museum of the Middle Ages, awestruck by the six very famous Lady and the Unicorn tapestries from the late 15th Century. And then we traveled to Scotland, to Stirling Castle, where we learned of James V's love for fair Madeleine -- and for tapestries and unicorns. That's where the story began.
