Elvis Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie, passed away unexpectedly yesterday at age 54. While her father makes a brief appearance in It Happened in Memphis, the plot of that book takes place years before Lisa Marie’s birth.
May her memory be a blessing for her family.

Hi, everyone. It’s the first Wednesday of the month, which means it’s time for a question from the Insecure Writers Support Group.
Do you have a word of the year? Is there one word that sums up what you need to work on or change in the coming year?
You know, I have friends who do this, but I don’t. I just keep trying to be a decent person, knowing that sometimes I’ll fall short of the mark. I guess the closest I come to having a word is summed up in this Beatles tune. Enjoy!
I discovered this by accident yesterday, and was simply delighted. Please enjoy this fabulous piece by Eclipse 6.
Happiest of holidays to you!
Each year, on the first night of Chanukah, I share this song. Don’t let the light go out!
